This is a hit! Light, bright and very tasty. Nice simple recipe. I added a 10 bag of baby spinach to mine, and served it with rice pilaf. Perfect! I'll be making this again and again.

This quick and easy Mediterranean chicken recipe is so fresh and light, that it would be perfect for a summer evening on the patio! You could even do the chicken on the grill if you wanted to, and use a cast iron skillet for the vegetables. Just be very careful and use a potholder or grill mitt when taking the skillet off the grill. Anything with kalamata olives and feta cheese makes me happy, so I will surely be making this dish again!
