Healthy Eating: Greek Chicken
Greek Chicken Dish
This recipe is full of flavor, yet easy to prepare. Perfect to serve to company over cauliflower rice and paired with a glass of Merlot. I know, you typically should not serve a red wine with chicken but the bold flavors in this recipe pairs well with a Merlot or an oak Chardonnay.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 - 25 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
4 large boneless chicken thighs or breasts
2 T olive oil
2 tsp. of minced garlic
1 T Greek seasoning (use more to taste)
1 14.5 oz. can of roasted diced tomatoes drained
½ C green olives fill space with the olive juice
½ C feta cheese crumbles
1 T capers
Instructions:
· Preheat oven to 375 degrees
· Using an oven safe pan heat olive oil, Greek seasoning and garlic
· Brown chicken in the pan on both sides
· Add tomatoes, olives, feta cheese and capers to pan
· Place the pan in the oven and bake uncovered
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until the internal temperature is 165 degrees
The chicken is tender and flavorful. I have also added artichoke hearts to the recipe, which provides more Greek flavor to the dish.
