Who doesn’t love one-pan dinners? I know I do. Clean up is a breeze. This Mediterranean Chicken Dish sure fits the bill! It is quick & delicious too!

This recipe is one that my family asks for a lot, especially my husband, and it’s good enough for company! Just add a salad, green beans, side of broccoli or asparagus and you are good to go!  This is so good served over Cauliflower Rice or  Spaghetti Squash.

I have to confess. I had just had ankle surgery & my husband threw this together while his sister & brother-in-law were visiting. I gave him instructions from a chair near the kitchen. If he can do this, believe me, anyone can. (It might not have been as pretty as if I had made it, but who’s complaining.)

My daughter gets creds for the photos.

He roasted broccoli to go with it since we were out of spinach. When I cook it, I just put the broccoli or spinach in with all the other ingredients & bake as a one-pan dish! Saves time & clean up!

Ingredients:

• 5-6 Organic Chicken Thighs
• 2-3 Tbs EVOO
• 1 onion chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 
• 1/2 c. kalamata olives sliced
• 2 Tbs. capers
• 1 bag of frozen artichokes or 1 can of artichoke hearts drained & sliced
• 1 tsp oregano
• 2 Tbs fresh basil – optional
• sea salt to taste
• 2 handfuls of fresh spinach or 1 bag of frozen organic broccoli- optional
• optional- can add feta cheese – not Paleo or AIP

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375*
• Add EVOO or fat of choice to casserole dish.
• Salt Chicken on both sides
• Add onions, garlic, olives, capers, artichokes, oregano, basil & spinach to the casserole dish.
• Add Chicken on top.
• Bake for 30-40 min or until chicken is done. Juices should be clear. Turn chicken halfway through cooking. 

Tips:

• You can cut up the chicken in bite-size pieces & mix. 
• If you can’t find artichokes without citric acid (they are hard to find) soak them in water with a couple of Tbs. of vinegar & rinse a couple of times thoroughly. I don’t know if this removes it totally, but it makes me feel better. 
• Delicious served over Cauliflower Rice or with Italian Spaghetti Squash
