Ingredients

  • A dash of olive oil to sauté
  • Juicy chicken tenders, thinly sliced for tenderness
  • A hint of minced garlic
  • Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Essence of Italian seasoning
  • Sun-dried tomatoes soaked in oil, finely chopped
  • Sliced green olives for a burst of flavor
  • Dry white wine to deglaze the pan
  • Freshly chopped parsley for a herbal touch
  • Creamy sour cream to enrich the sauce
  • Luscious milk for a velvety texture
  • A touch of salt and cornstarch for thickening
  • A splash of water to balance the consistency

Step 1

Begin by warming up a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet until it shimmers with heat. As the oil heats up, gently introduce the chicken and garlic to the pan, allowing them to sizzle and mingle. Sprinkle a blend of salt, pepper, and fragrant Italian seasoning over the ingredients, infusing them with savory goodness. Next, toss in the vibrant tomatoes, briny olives, a splash of wine, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, creating a symphony of flavors.

Step 2

Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, letting the chicken cook until it transforms from pink to a juicy, tender perfection. Once cooked, delicately transfer the chicken to a waiting plate, letting it rest while the sauce takes center stage. To elevate the sauce, swirl in a velvety mix of sour cream, milk, and a pinch of salt, enriching it with creamy goodness.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, blend cornstarch with water to create a smooth slurry. Increase the heat under the skillet, and slowly incorporate the cornstarch mixture into the bubbling sauce, stirring continuously until it thickens to a luscious consistency. Finally, present this delectable sauce alongside the succulent chicken, ready to delight your taste buds with each flavorful bite.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize airtight containers to preserve the freshness of your Mediterranean spices and herbs, ensuring they remain flavorful and aromatic.
  2. 2. Store your marinated chicken in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to blend and develop over time. This will result in a more delicious and tender dish when cooked.
