Mediterranean Chicken Tips

How can you make this Mediterranean chicken recipe your own?

To make this Mediterranean chicken recipe your own, substitute ingredients or seasonings you love. Use fresh tomatoes and minced garlic instead of canned, and add any fresh vegetable instead of frozen green beans. We suggest chopped asparagus, fresh green beans, or even broccoli florets. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end for some brightness and flavor! You can also try baking your Mediterranean chicken.

What can you serve with Mediterranean chicken?

Serve Mediterranean chicken with a whole grain bread, more fresh vegetables, or a flavorful salad. This Mediterranean-inspired recipe already has meat, veggies, and some grains, so anything else is an added bonus!

How should you store leftover Mediterranean chicken?

Store any leftover Mediterranean chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Your cooked chicken lasts in the fridge for up to 4 days.
