Ingredients
Instructions
- Pound the chicken cutlets flat and cut into 4-inch pieces.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Saute the chicken in a small amount of olive oil until browned, then remove from the pan.
- In the same pan, saute chopped onion until translucent.
- Add minced garlic and the cooked chicken back to the pan.
- Pour in white wine and boil for 2 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, a bouillon cube, artichokes, black olives, and spices such as oregano, basil, and pepperoncini.
- Simmer uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes until the sauce turns pink.
- Serve the dish with broccoli or asparagus on the side.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use fresh herbs like oregano and basil to enhance the flavor. If you don’t have white wine, substitute with chicken broth or a splash of lemon juice. Consider adding capers or sun-dried tomatoes for an extra kick. To avoid overcooking, monitor the chicken closely while sautéing; it should be just golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chicken Gourmet Style alongside steamed broccoli or asparagus for a balanced meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Mediterranean recipes like Greek Style Orzo With Tomatoes And Spinach or a simple rice pilaf. A light salad with a vinaigrette can also complement the flavors well.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of chicken broth to keep the dish moist. Alternatively, you can microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to ensure even heating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken cutlets for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken cutlets, but make sure to thaw them completely before cooking to ensure even cooking. This will help prevent the chicken from becoming tough or rubbery.
What can I substitute for white wine if I don’t want to use alcohol?
If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can substitute white wine with additional chicken broth or a mixture of vinegar and water. This will mimic the acidity and depth of flavor that wine adds.
How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). You can also cut into a piece to check that the juices run clear and no longer appear pink.
