Skillet Mediterranean Chicken Recipe – This quick and easy skillet chicken recipe is packed full of flavor! Simple enough for a busy weeknight, yet perfect for entertaining!
If you’ve noticed anything about me, you’ve most likely noticed how much I love easy skillet recipes. I’ve mentioned for years how much I adore skillets and use them for everything from cooking breakfast in the mornings to desserts! But, you know, my absolute favorite way to use them is for quick and easy suppers. For that purpose, they are indispensible!
And if you love these easy as can be types of recipes, then this Skillet Mediterranean Chicken recipe is one that I think you are absolutely going to adore!
To make it, I start by seasoning boneless, skinless chicken breasts with my Italian seasoning mix and then quickly browning each side in a little olive oil in my skillet. Then, I remove the chicken to a plate and make the marinara sauce right in the same skillet!
This flavorful dish is excellent served over pasta or mashed potatoes, but I especially love it over spiralized zucchini! It makes a filling, healthy meal that everyone loves! It works perfectly for families following a Paleo, Whole 30, as well as a gluten and dairy-free lifestyle!
Here’s my Skillet Mediterranean Chicken Recipe. I hope you make it soon!

Robyn,
Another delicious recipe, I made it for dinner after I got home from work so it was easy as well, the husband loved it also!!
Thanks!
I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed it, Julie! xo
I fixed this for “lupper”, and it was divine plus easy as well. Love skillet dinners!
Oh yay! I’m so glad you love it (and that you have “supper, too!) xo
I’ve been on such a chicken kick this summer. Adding this to the menu. I love all the seasonings. Great flavors!
When you say tomato sauce, do you mean.Pasta sauce?
This looks & sounds delicious. I too love skillet dishes & “supper.” I’m sorry to say I’m not a fan of olives…will flavor be lost if I omit them, or do you recommend a substitute?
I changed my dinner plans for last night and made this for my family. LOVE. 5 stars. Served it with couscous and cucumber salad for more Mediterranean flair. It’s a keeper and going into regular rotation. Thanks for a great recipe!
The mediterranean chicken and pasta is the best dish that my bf can cook for me (well, actually as an Italian, he cooks well a bunch of pasta styles 😂) Aw, I will ask him to cook this tonight 😄

Hi, tomato sauce is another name for ketchup in the UK, what do you mean by tomato sauce?
Tomato sauce is a little thinner than tomato puree, David.
