How to Make Athenian Chicken And Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6oz each) and cook for 5 minutes per side, until browned.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- While the chicken cooks, combine 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano in a small saucepan.
- Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to about 1/2 cup.
- Serve the chicken topped with the lemon sauce and garnish with 1/4 cup Kalamata olives.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
