What You\u2019ll Need for this Chicken Skillet Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This simple Greek chicken skillet recipe is built on pantry staples and fresh ingredients that bring big flavour with minimal effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken & Marinade<\/strong> \u2013 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts get extra juicy thanks to a yogurt-based marinade with garlic, lemon, oregano, cumin, and paprika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sauce <\/strong>\u2013 A savoury blend of saut\u00e9ed onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and canned tomatoes creates a rich, flavourful base. Cherry tomatoes add natural sweetness and a slightly chunky texture, while diced tomatoes break down for a smoother sauce\u2014both work, but cherry tomatoes bring extra depth and vibrancy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing Touches<\/strong> \u2013 Kalamata olives for brininess, crumbled feta for creaminess, and a handful of fresh parsley, dill, and mint for brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead of Breasts for this Recipe?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>

Absolutely!<\/strong>\u00a0Chicken thighs stay extra juicy and work perfectly in this recipe. Boneless thighs<\/strong>\u00a0cook quickly\u2014sear them first, then add them back after the sauce has simmered for 10 minutes. Bone-in thighs<\/strong>\u00a0take longer\u2014sear for 7-10 minutes per side, then let them simmer in the sauce for about 15 minutes until fully cooked. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent over-browning.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
