Following is a delicious Mediterranean Chicken Recipe and guest post by Elena at ‘A Casarella ~ enjoy!!

Hi Frugal Girls. I’m Elena from `A Casarella and today I am going to share one of my quick and easy “go-to” weeknight dinners.

I consider it a “go-to” because I frequently need quick and easy weeknight recipes. In fact (and I’m a little embarrassed to admit this) sometimes I don’t even know what we’re having for dinner until about five minutes before I start cooking.

This is a shameful thing for a mommy-blogger to admit. C’mon, you guys are on Pinterest, you know how organized we mommy-bloggers are supposed be.

I should have a cute dry erase calendar made from paint chips and modge podge which proudly displays my dinner plans for the next month. And it should be cross-referenced with the contents of my uber-organized pantry.

But to be honest, that’s not exactly how things go down at my house (though I do have a pretty well-organized pantry). And in that pantry I always try to keep the ingredients for today’s recipe, a little something I call Mediterranean Chicken.

It’s quick, it’s easy and most of all, it’s tasty. So perhaps you might consider adding it to your calendar? I’d be so pleased if you did.

Read on for the recipe…

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time20 mins
Total Time30 mins
Course: Entree
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Servings: 6
Author: Elena

Ingredients

  • whole cooked Rotisserie Chicken
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes {28 oz.} - do not drain
  • 1 can Quartered Artichoke Hearts {14 oz.}
  • Greek Kalamata Pitted Olives
  • 1 tsp. Capers
  • 1 tbsp. Oregano
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • Dash of Pepper
  • 1 cup Rice
  • Feta Cheese

Instructions

  • Remove the skin from the Rotisserie Chicken, and carve out the breast.
  • Shred the chicken breasts up with fingers or 2 forks, then set aside in a bowl.
  • The rest of the chicken can be saved for other uses... I save the wings and legs for my daughters to eat and frequently make soup stock from whatever remains.
  • Next, slice up some Kalamata olives, and set aside. (The amount depends on how much you like them.)
  • Then drain your can of artichoke hearts in colander, then add in chopped olives to colander, and set aside.
  • While those are draining, pour entire contents of can of diced tomatoes into a saucepan. {do not drain}
  • Next add the artichoke hearts and olives to the tomatoes in saucepan. Stir well.
  • Add Oregano, Garlic Powder, Pepper, and 1 heaping tsp. Capers to saucepan. Stir well.
  • Cook over Medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all ingredients are heated through.
  • While ingredients are heating, cook your Rice using a Rice Cooker or on the Stove Top.
  • Reheat chicken in bowl for a few seconds in the microwave, to make sure it's hot.
  • Once rice is done cooking, pour cooked rice in the bottom of a large bowl.
  • Then spread out reheated cooked chicken on top of rice.
  • Add the tomato/artichoke/olive mixture.
  • Sprinkle with Feta cheese to taste. And that’s it! Dinner is served.

    I need one of those thing-a-mah-jigs you refer to as a little jar opener doo hickey! I have some roasted red peppers that are calling out to be opened. 😉 I enjoyed your write up and will enjoy making this sometime when I get some capers again!

      Thanks! I hope you enjoy the dish. And seriously, I don’t work for the doo-hickey company or anything, but that little guy has saved my life (or my recipe) on more than one occasion. It breaks the air seal and then you can twist the lid right off. Love it!

      Amy, Elena turned me on to this tool as well – I found one for my mom and MIL at our local (albeit fancy) Ace Hardware Store. You’ll feel like a super hero when you can easily open jars with it.
