I do it all the time, with awesome, family loved results.\nLetting ingredients talk to you (okay, so I didn’t add gummy bears or leftover spaghetti), I regularly create new dishes just using what I find in the fridge that day.\nI call it the home version of “Chopped”! Basically, it’s several ingredients that I found in the fridge and created what I feel like is a masterpiece.\nWe literally grab spoons and scrape the skillet to get the very last of this delicious and creamy sauce into our bellies. It may even be worth doubling the sauce just for this reason!\nWe always have pasta, it’s a good bet that we have spinach, cream cheese, and jarred roasted red peppers.

Jump to the\nfull recipe card\ninstead\nMediterranean Chicken Video\nKey Recipe Ingredients\nNote\n: This highlights some ingredients. Full list is in the\nrecipe card\n. \nChicken\n. Slice these into cutlets, or just buy them already cut from the grocery store!\nButter.\nI use salted butter, but you can sub in olive oil or unsalted butter. Be sure to taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.\nOnion.\nDice it up finely, we want small, even pieces of onion\nGarlic\n. Mince it up! Feel free to double the quantity. Garlic is delicious\nRoasted red peppers\n. You can roast these yourself or buy a jar of them. I like the ones packed in water vs the ones packed in olive oil.\nChicken stock.\nMake your own chicken stock\n, or grab it at the store.\nCream cheese\n. Flavored ones are great in this, a garlic herb, or a sun dried tomato one works well. Plain is fine, too!\nSpinach.\nThis is baby spinach leaves.\nPasta.\nAny kind you like! Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, ziti, farfalle etc are all great choices. Rice or quinoa can also be used.\nHow to make this recipe\nThis is a step-by-step photo guide. Full ingredients and instructions are in the \nprintable recipe card\n below.\nJump\nIn a large skillet, melt the butter. Any skillet will do, a non-stick or a cast-iron skillet will work.\nSeason the chicken breasts and cook at medium-high heat until browned and done. (About 3-4 minutes per side – needs to be 165F in the middle). Remove to a plate and keep warm.\nWould you like to save this recipe?\nWe'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!\nIn the same skillet, cook the onions until softened (I deglaze the pan with a little stock as well), then add the garlic and roasted red peppers.\nSeason with salt and pepper.\nCook for 2 minutes then add the cream cheese and the remaining stock.\nWhisk the sauce until blended, then simmer for around 7 minutes – allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken up.\nAdd the spinach and toss into the sauce until wilted.\nAdd the chicken and any juices back into the pan and allow to warm through.\nPlate the pasta, add chicken, and spoon a good helping of the sauce over the top.\nDevour.\nKylee’s Notes\nWhat to do with leftovers\nStore in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot!\nSubstitutions\/Additions\nSkip a step and buy chicken already sliced into cutlets.\nIf you want to change the flavor profile you can mix it up and use different flavored cream cheese, or just go for plain if you want a simpler flavor.\nUse sundried tomatoes instead of roasted red peppers.\nUse rice,\nquinoa\nor\nmashed potatoes\ninstead of pasta.\nCook the pasta ahead and assemble all your ingredients the night before, and really streamline the process. You could have this on the table REALLY quick if you do this!\nAdd some white beans to bulk up the protein content.\nAlways use more garlic (because #delicious)\nNeed more Chicken Recipes?\nThis\nItalian Style Mozzarella Skillet\nis the stuff of DREAMS.

This is a good one for those nights when we have kid activities and don’t get home until well after 6 pm and we all have to eat\\!\n\n[Pin This Recipe For Later](https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/bookmarklet\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kyleecooks.com%2Fcreamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kyleecooks.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F05%2FMediterranean-Chicken-1000-x1500-PIN-4.jpg&description=This+Creamy+Mediterranean+Chicken+Skillet+is+so+delicious%2C+you+won%27t+believe+how+easy+and+fast+it+is+to+cook.+Perfect+for+weeknights%2C+with+flavors+everyone+will+enjoy+-+you%27ll+be+fighting+over+the+leftover+sauce%21&is_video=false)\n\n![Sauteed chicken added to creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet mixture.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-22.jpg)\n\n![Sauteed chicken added to creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet mixture.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-22.jpg)\n\nStep-by-step photos and tips and tricks are below.

Full list is in the **[recipe card](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet\/#recipe).**\n\n- **Chicken**. Slice these into cutlets, or just buy them already cut from the grocery store\\!\n- **Butter.** I use salted butter, but you can sub in olive oil or unsalted butter. Be sure to taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.\n- **Onion.** Dice it up finely, we want small, even pieces of onion\n- **Garlic**. Mince it up! Feel free to double the quantity. Garlic is delicious\n- **Roasted red peppers**. You can roast these yourself or buy a jar of them. I like the ones packed in water vs the ones packed in olive oil.\n- **Chicken stock.** [Make your own chicken stock](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/diy-chicken-stock\/), or grab it at the store.\n- **Cream cheese**. Flavored ones are great in this, a garlic herb, or a sun dried tomato one works well. Plain is fine, too\\!\n- **Spinach.** This is baby spinach leaves.\n- **Pasta.** Any kind you like! Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, ziti, farfalle etc are all great choices. Rice or quinoa can also be used.\n\n![Mediterranean chicken ingredients laid out and labeled.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mediterranean-Chicken-INGREDIENTS.jpg)\n\n![Mediterranean chicken ingredients laid out and labeled.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mediterranean-Chicken-INGREDIENTS.jpg)\n## **How to make this recipe**\nThis is a step-by-step photo guide.

Any skillet will do, a non-stick or a cast-iron skillet will work.\n\nSeason the chicken breasts and cook at medium-high heat until browned and done. (About 3-4 minutes per side – needs to be 165F in the middle). Remove to a plate and keep warm.\n\n![process shots showing sautéing chicken in a skillet.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-1.jpg)\n\n![process shots showing sautéing chicken in a skillet.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-1.jpg)\n\n### Would you like to save this recipe?\nWe'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later\\!\n\n**Make the sauce**\n\nIn the same skillet, cook the onions until softened (I deglaze the pan with a little stock as well), then add the garlic and roasted red peppers.\n\nSeason with salt and pepper.\n\n![process shots showing cooking onions and roasted red peppers.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-2.jpg)\n\n![process shots showing cooking onions and roasted red peppers.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-2.jpg)\n\nCook for 2 minutes then add the cream cheese and the remaining stock.\n\nWhisk the sauce until blended, then simmer for around 7 minutes – allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken up.\n\n![process shots showing adding cream cheese and stock to a sauce.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-3.jpg)\n\n![process shots showing adding cream cheese and stock to a sauce.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-3.jpg)\n\n**Add the spinach, and the cooked chicken back in**\n\nAdd the spinach and toss into the sauce until wilted.\n\nAdd the chicken and any juices back into the pan and allow to warm through.\n\n![collage of process shots showing adding spinach to a sauce for chicken.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-4.jpg)\n\n![collage of process shots showing adding spinach to a sauce for chicken.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-4.jpg)\n\n**Serve**\n\nPlate the pasta, add chicken, and spoon a good helping of the sauce over the top.\n\nDevour.\n\n![Closeup of creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet with fork on white plate.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-25.jpg)\n\n![Closeup of creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet with fork on white plate.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-25.jpg)\n\n## Kylee’s Notes\n**What to do with leftovers**\n\nStore in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot\\!\n\n**Substitutions\/Additions**\n\nSkip a step and buy chicken already sliced into cutlets.\n\nIf you want to change the flavor profile you can mix it up and use different flavored cream cheese, or just go for plain if you want a simpler flavor.\n\nUse sundried tomatoes instead of roasted red peppers.\n\nUse rice, **[quinoa](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/how-to-cook-quinoa\/)** or **[mashed potatoes](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/mashed-potatoes-recipe\/)** instead of pasta.\n\nCook the pasta ahead and assemble all your ingredients the night before, and really streamline the process.

Perfect for weeknights, with flavors everyone will enjoy – you’ll be fighting over the leftover sauce\\!\n\nCheck out my One Pan **[Chicken Pizzaiola](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/chicken-pizzaiola\/)**, and my **[Skillet Bourbon Chicken](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/bourbon-chicken\/)** too\\!\n\n![chicken in a creamy sauce in a skillet with a bowl of pasta off to the side](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-18.jpg)\n\nMake this EASY chicken recipe in 30 minutes. Check out my video below for all the steps\\!\n\nWe all know I’m a huge fan of one-skillet meals, and even more so – a skillet meal that doesn’t take forever.\n\nDo you ever stand in front of your fridge\/pantry and try to figure out what to make with what you’ve got? I do it all the time, with awesome, family loved results.\n\nLetting ingredients talk to you (okay, so I didn’t add gummy bears or leftover spaghetti), I regularly create new dishes just using what I find in the fridge that day.\n\nI call it the home version of “Chopped”! Basically, it’s several ingredients that I found in the fridge and created what I feel like is a masterpiece.\n\nWe literally grab spoons and scrape the skillet to get the very last of this delicious and creamy sauce into our bellies. It may even be worth doubling the sauce just for this reason\\!\n\nWe always have pasta, it’s a good bet that we have spinach, cream cheese, and jarred roasted red peppers. Add a few more simple ingredients that I usually have around anyway (butter, onion, garlic and chicken stock)… and dinner is **done**\\!\n\nBecause this is so good, I make sure I have all the ingredients on hand, just in case we need a yummy dinner in a hurry. This is a good one for those nights when we have kid activities and don’t get home until well after 6 pm and we all have to eat\\!\n\n![Sauteed chicken added to creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet mixture.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-22.jpg)\n\nStep-by-step photos and tips and tricks are below.

Full list is in the **[recipe card](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet\/#recipe).**\n\n- **Chicken**. Slice these into cutlets, or just buy them already cut from the grocery store\\!\n- **Butter.** I use salted butter, but you can sub in olive oil or unsalted butter. Be sure to taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.\n- **Onion.** Dice it up finely, we want small, even pieces of onion\n- **Garlic**. Mince it up! Feel free to double the quantity. Garlic is delicious\n- **Roasted red peppers**. You can roast these yourself or buy a jar of them. I like the ones packed in water vs the ones packed in olive oil.\n- **Chicken stock.** [Make your own chicken stock](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/diy-chicken-stock\/), or grab it at the store.\n- **Cream cheese**. Flavored ones are great in this, a garlic herb, or a sun dried tomato one works well. Plain is fine, too\\!\n- **Spinach.** This is baby spinach leaves.\n- **Pasta.** Any kind you like! Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, ziti, farfalle etc are all great choices. Rice or quinoa can also be used.\n\n![Mediterranean chicken ingredients laid out and labeled.](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mediterranean-Chicken-INGREDIENTS.jpg)\n\n## **How to make this recipe**\nThis is a step-by-step photo guide.

Any skillet will do, a non-stick or a cast-iron skillet will work.\n\nSeason the chicken breasts and cook at medium-high heat until browned and done. (About 3-4 minutes per side – needs to be 165F in the middle).

Reheat until it is piping hot\\!\n\n**Substitutions\/Additions**\n\nSkip a step and buy chicken already sliced into cutlets.\n\nIf you want to change the flavor profile you can mix it up and use different flavored cream cheese, or just go for plain if you want a simpler flavor.\n\nUse sundried tomatoes instead of roasted red peppers.\n\nUse rice, **[quinoa](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/how-to-cook-quinoa\/)** or **[mashed potatoes](https:\/\/www.kyleecooks.com\/mashed-potatoes-recipe\/)** instead of pasta.\n\nCook the pasta ahead and assemble all your ingredients the night before, and really streamline the process.

This Creamy Mediterranean Chicken Dinner made in a skillet is so delicious, you won’t believe how easy and fast it is to cook. Perfect for weeknights, with flavors everyone will enjoy – you’ll be fighting over the leftover sauce! Check out my One Pan Chicken Pizzaiola , and my Skillet Bourbon Chicken too! Make this EASY chicken recipe in 30 minutes. Check out my video below for all the steps! We all know I’m a huge fan of one-skillet meals, and even more so – a skillet meal that doesn’t take forever. Do you ever stand in front of your fridge/pantry and try to figure out what to make with what you’ve got? I do it all the time, with awesome, family loved results. Letting ingredients talk to you (okay, so I didn’t add gummy bears or leftover spaghetti), I regularly create new dishes just using what I find in the fridge that day. I call it the home version of “Chopped”! Basically, it’s several ingredients that I found in the fridge and created what I feel like is a masterpiece. We literally grab spoons and scrape the skillet to get the very last of this delicious and creamy sauce into our bellies. It may even be worth doubling the sauce just for this reason! We always have pasta, it’s a good bet that we have spinach, cream cheese, and jarred roasted red peppers. Add a few more simple ingredients that I usually have around anyway (butter, onion, garlic and chicken stock)… and dinner is done ! Because this is so good, I make sure I have all the ingredients on hand, just in case we need a yummy dinner in a hurry. This is a good one for those nights when we have kid activities and don’t get home until well after 6 pm and we all have to eat! Step-by-step photos and tips and tricks are below. Jump to the full recipe card instead Mediterranean Chicken Video Key Recipe Ingredients Note : This highlights some ingredients. Full list is in the recipe card . Chicken . Slice these into cutlets, or just buy them already cut from the grocery store! Butter. I use salted butter, but you can sub in olive oil or unsalted butter. Be sure to taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Onion. Dice it up finely, we want small, even pieces of onion Garlic . Mince it up! Feel free to double the quantity. Garlic is delicious Roasted red peppers . You can roast these yourself or buy a jar of them. I like the ones packed in water vs the ones packed in olive oil. Chicken stock. Make your own chicken stock , or grab it at the store. Cream cheese . Flavored ones are great in this, a garlic herb, or a sun dried tomato one works well. Plain is fine, too! Spinach. This is baby spinach leaves. Pasta. Any kind you like! Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, ziti, farfalle etc are all great choices. Rice or quinoa can also be used. How to make this recipe This is a step-by-step photo guide. Full ingredients and instructions are in the printable recipe card below. Jump In a large skillet, melt the butter. Any skillet will do, a non-stick or a cast-iron skillet will work. Season the chicken breasts and cook at medium-high heat until browned and done. (About 3-4 minutes per side – needs to be 165F in the middle). Remove to a plate and keep warm. Would you like to save this recipe? We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later! In the same skillet, cook the onions until softened (I deglaze the pan with a little stock as well), then add the garlic and roasted red peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes then add the cream cheese and the remaining stock. Whisk the sauce until blended, then simmer for around 7 minutes – allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken up. Add the spinach and toss into the sauce until wilted. Add the chicken and any juices back into the pan and allow to warm through. Plate the pasta, add chicken, and spoon a good helping of the sauce over the top. Devour. Kylee’s Notes What to do with leftovers Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot! Substitutions/Additions Skip a step and buy chicken already sliced into cutlets. If you want to change the flavor profile you can mix it up and use different flavored cream cheese, or just go for plain if you want a simpler flavor. Use sundried tomatoes instead of roasted red peppers. Use rice, quinoa or mashed potatoes instead of pasta. Cook the pasta ahead and assemble all your ingredients the night before, and really streamline the process. You could have this on the table REALLY quick if you do this! Add some white beans to bulk up the protein content. Always use more garlic (because #delicious) Need more Chicken Recipes? This Italian Style Mozzarella Skillet is the stuff of DREAMS. Try it! Chicken Piccata Recipe . An old time classic, that is quick and easy to make and full of flavor. Butter, lemon juice and capers make the delicious sauce! Chicken with Romesco Sauce . Grilled Chicken paired with an amazingly full flavored Romesco Sauce brings YOUR dinner to new levels. Smoky and robust, you’ll find yourself looking for new things to eat it with! Pesto Stuffed Chicken (with Cream Cheese). Super easy to make, finishes in the oven for some hands-off cooking! Creamy and delicious, everyone will love this dinner! Balsamic Glazed Chicken . A simple homemade sauce is used to baste the chicken as it cooks. The result is tender chicken with a slightly sweet, and tangy taste. Chicken Florentine . A great way to make a weeknight dinner a bit more special. Jalapeno Popper Chicken . Chicken stuffed with a delicious jalapeno cream cheese mixture and coated with breadcrumbs. Baked to perfection, and absolutely delicious! Chicken Divan. A classic casserole with broccoli, chicken, cheese and a crunchy topping. You will make this family favorite over and over!

Full list is in the [recipe card](https://www.kyleecooks.com/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet/#recipe). - Chicken. Slice these into cutlets, or just buy them already cut from the grocery store\! - Butter. I use salted butter, but you can sub in olive oil or unsalted butter. Be sure to taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. - Onion. Dice it up finely, we want small, even pieces of onion - Garlic. Mince it up! Feel free to double the quantity. Garlic is delicious - Roasted red peppers. You can roast these yourself or buy a jar of them. I like the ones packed in water vs the ones packed in olive oil. - Chicken stock. [Make your own chicken stock](https://www.kyleecooks.com/diy-chicken-stock/), or grab it at the store. - Cream cheese. Flavored ones are great in this, a garlic herb, or a sun dried tomato one works well. Plain is fine, too\! - Spinach. This is baby spinach leaves. - Pasta. Any kind you like! Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, ziti, farfalle etc are all great choices. Rice or quinoa can also be used. ![Mediterranean chicken ingredients laid out and labeled.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Mediterranean-Chicken-INGREDIENTS.jpg) ![Mediterranean chicken ingredients laid out and labeled.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Mediterranean-Chicken-INGREDIENTS.jpg) ## How to make this recipe This is a step-by-step photo guide. Full ingredients and instructions are in the [printable recipe card](https://www.kyleecooks.com/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet/#recipe) below. [Jump](https://www.kyleecooks.com/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet/#recipe) Cook the chicken In a large skillet, melt the butter. Any skillet will do, a non-stick or a cast-iron skillet will work. Season the chicken breasts and cook at medium-high heat until browned and done. (About 3-4 minutes per side – needs to be 165F in the middle). Remove to a plate and keep warm. ![process shots showing sautéing chicken in a skillet.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-1.jpg) ![process shots showing sautéing chicken in a skillet.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-1.jpg) ### Would you like to save this recipe? We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later\! Make the sauce In the same skillet, cook the onions until softened (I deglaze the pan with a little stock as well), then add the garlic and roasted red peppers. Season with salt and pepper. ![process shots showing cooking onions and roasted red peppers.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-2.jpg) ![process shots showing cooking onions and roasted red peppers.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-2.jpg) Cook for 2 minutes then add the cream cheese and the remaining stock. Whisk the sauce until blended, then simmer for around 7 minutes – allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken up. ![process shots showing adding cream cheese and stock to a sauce.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-3.jpg) ![process shots showing adding cream cheese and stock to a sauce.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-3.jpg) Add the spinach, and the cooked chicken back in Add the spinach and toss into the sauce until wilted.

Devour. ![Closeup of creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet with fork on white plate.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-25.jpg) ![Closeup of creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet with fork on white plate.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-25.jpg) ## Kylee’s Notes What to do with leftovers Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot\! Substitutions/Additions Skip a step and buy chicken already sliced into cutlets. If you want to change the flavor profile you can mix it up and use different flavored cream cheese, or just go for plain if you want a simpler flavor. Use sundried tomatoes instead of roasted red peppers. Use rice, [quinoa](https://www.kyleecooks.com/how-to-cook-quinoa/) or [mashed potatoes](https://www.kyleecooks.com/mashed-potatoes-recipe/) instead of pasta. Cook the pasta ahead and assemble all your ingredients the night before, and really streamline the process. You could have this on the table REALLY quick if you do this\! Add some white beans to bulk up the protein content. Always use more garlic (because \#delicious) ![creamy mediterranean chicken in a skillet with extra pasta in a bowl on the side.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-20.jpg) ![creamy mediterranean chicken in a skillet with extra pasta in a bowl on the side.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-20.jpg) ### Need more Chicken Recipes? - This [Italian Style Mozzarella Skillet](https://www.kyleecooks.com/italian-style-chicken-mozzarella-skillet/) is the stuff of DREAMS.

Perfect for weeknights, with flavors everyone will enjoy – you’ll be fighting over the leftover sauce\! Check out my One Pan [Chicken Pizzaiola](https://www.kyleecooks.com/chicken-pizzaiola/), and my [Skillet Bourbon Chicken](https://www.kyleecooks.com/bourbon-chicken/) too\! ![chicken in a creamy sauce in a skillet with a bowl of pasta off to the side](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-18.jpg) Make this EASY chicken recipe in 30 minutes. Check out my video below for all the steps\! We all know I’m a huge fan of one-skillet meals, and even more so – a skillet meal that doesn’t take forever. Do you ever stand in front of your fridge/pantry and try to figure out what to make with what you’ve got? I do it all the time, with awesome, family loved results. Letting ingredients talk to you (okay, so I didn’t add gummy bears or leftover spaghetti), I regularly create new dishes just using what I find in the fridge that day. I call it the home version of “Chopped”! Basically, it’s several ingredients that I found in the fridge and created what I feel like is a masterpiece. We literally grab spoons and scrape the skillet to get the very last of this delicious and creamy sauce into our bellies. It may even be worth doubling the sauce just for this reason\! We always have pasta, it’s a good bet that we have spinach, cream cheese, and jarred roasted red peppers. Add a few more simple ingredients that I usually have around anyway (butter, onion, garlic and chicken stock)… and dinner is done\! Because this is so good, I make sure I have all the ingredients on hand, just in case we need a yummy dinner in a hurry. This is a good one for those nights when we have kid activities and don’t get home until well after 6 pm and we all have to eat\! ![Sauteed chicken added to creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet mixture.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-22.jpg) Step-by-step photos and tips and tricks are below. Jump to the [full recipe card](https://www.kyleecooks.com/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet/#recipe) instead ### Mediterranean Chicken Video Key Recipe Ingredients Note: This highlights some ingredients. Full list is in the [recipe card](https://www.kyleecooks.com/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet/#recipe). - Chicken. Slice these into cutlets, or just buy them already cut from the grocery store\! - Butter. I use salted butter, but you can sub in olive oil or unsalted butter. Be sure to taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. - Onion. Dice it up finely, we want small, even pieces of onion - Garlic. Mince it up! Feel free to double the quantity. Garlic is delicious - Roasted red peppers. You can roast these yourself or buy a jar of them. I like the ones packed in water vs the ones packed in olive oil. - Chicken stock. [Make your own chicken stock](https://www.kyleecooks.com/diy-chicken-stock/), or grab it at the store. - Cream cheese. Flavored ones are great in this, a garlic herb, or a sun dried tomato one works well. Plain is fine, too\! - Spinach. This is baby spinach leaves. - Pasta. Any kind you like! Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, ziti, farfalle etc are all great choices. Rice or quinoa can also be used. ![Mediterranean chicken ingredients laid out and labeled.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Mediterranean-Chicken-INGREDIENTS.jpg) ## How to make this recipe This is a step-by-step photo guide. Full ingredients and instructions are in the [printable recipe card](https://www.kyleecooks.com/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet/#recipe) below. [Jump](https://www.kyleecooks.com/creamy-mediterranean-chicken-skillet/#recipe) In a large skillet, melt the butter. Any skillet will do, a non-stick or a cast-iron skillet will work. Season the chicken breasts and cook at medium-high heat until browned and done. (About 3-4 minutes per side – needs to be 165F in the middle). Remove to a plate and keep warm. ![process shots showing sautéing chicken in a skillet.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-1.jpg) ### Would you like to save this recipe? We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later\! In the same skillet, cook the onions until softened (I deglaze the pan with a little stock as well), then add the garlic and roasted red peppers. Season with salt and pepper. ![process shots showing cooking onions and roasted red peppers.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-2.jpg) Cook for 2 minutes then add the cream cheese and the remaining stock. Whisk the sauce until blended, then simmer for around 7 minutes – allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken up. ![process shots showing adding cream cheese and stock to a sauce.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-3.jpg) Add the spinach and toss into the sauce until wilted. Add the chicken and any juices back into the pan and allow to warm through. ![collage of process shots showing adding spinach to a sauce for chicken.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mediterranean-chicken-PROCESS-1200-x-1800-4.jpg) Plate the pasta, add chicken, and spoon a good helping of the sauce over the top. Devour. ![Closeup of creamy Mediterranean chicken skillet with fork on white plate.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-25.jpg) Kylee’s Notes What to do with leftovers Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat until it is piping hot\! Substitutions/Additions Skip a step and buy chicken already sliced into cutlets. If you want to change the flavor profile you can mix it up and use different flavored cream cheese, or just go for plain if you want a simpler flavor. Use sundried tomatoes instead of roasted red peppers. Use rice, [quinoa](https://www.kyleecooks.com/how-to-cook-quinoa/) or [mashed potatoes](https://www.kyleecooks.com/mashed-potatoes-recipe/) instead of pasta. Cook the pasta ahead and assemble all your ingredients the night before, and really streamline the process. You could have this on the table REALLY quick if you do this\! Add some white beans to bulk up the protein content. Always use more garlic (because \#delicious) ![creamy mediterranean chicken in a skillet with extra pasta in a bowl on the side.](https://www.kyleecooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Creamy-Mediterranean-Chicken-Skillet-20.jpg) ### Need more Chicken Recipes? - This [Italian Style Mozzarella Skillet](https://www.kyleecooks.com/italian-style-chicken-mozzarella-skillet/) is the stuff of DREAMS.
