So today I’m sharing with you this Mediterranean Chicken Skillet that is about to become your favorite quick dinner recipe. I promise, you won’t be disappointed. It’s quick to make, I mean you will need less than 30 minutes and this chicken is so flavourful that if you think chicken recipes are blah, you will be very surprised.
In this recipe you will use a ton of spices such as paprika, coriander, onion powder and black pepper. On top of these spices, this Mediterranean Chicken Skillet is loaded with juicy diced tomatoes (they help the chicken stay very moist), black olives and of course feta cheese. Mm… Delicious! This is definitely the perfect meal for a quick and water-mouthing dinner.
Tips to make this Mediterranean Chicken Skillet Recipe tastes great:
- Use organic chicken or free-range chicken because they are grown with no hormones and receive no antibiotics. Better for your body.
- Add just a pinch of crushed red pepper because it can be very spicy for some people. When the dish is ready, you can taste and see if you need to adjust the seasoning.
- Don’t bake the chicken for more than 25 minutes otherwise it will be dry.
- The quality of your diced tomatoes does make a difference to this dish. In my opinion, the best tomatoes out there are the San Marzano tomatoes because they have just the right amount of sweetness. They totally are worth the price.

I’m planning on making this recipe tonight for my family. In the ingredients list you only mention Onion Powder – no onions. But in the Directions you say to add onions and sauté after browning the chicken. I prefer Vidalia or sweet onions in this type of dish, would you add a whole onion or half for this recipe? I will send a comment/review once I’ve made it!
Sorry about that. I just adjusted the recipe to clear further confusion. Thanks for pointing it out!
You state onions in the cooking process, but it is not listed under ingredients!

My son and husband thought this was the best chicken dish I’ve ever made. I used the big can of whole tomatoes (Cento brand) of the type you recommend. I used quite a bit more Feta cheese than two tbsp. It was quick and very good. On my “make again” list for sure!
Happy to read this amazing review. Thank you 😉
