Mediterranean Grilled Chicken

April 24, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 31 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Stop the presses!!!!  I have some shocking news!  Hope you’re sitting down for this!   My Husband ate chicken with tomatoes!  Yes, I did it!  He actually did!  I am still shocked!  I didn’t make a big deal or anything about it at dinner, but inside I was laughing and I couldn’t believe my eyes!  However, with one of the most flavorful chicken dishes I have ever made, I can see why he chose to have tomatoes with it!!

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken

I made Mediterranean Grilled Chicken with the most flavorful Mediterranean salsa ever.  I was inspired to make this dish by the huge package I got last week from Star Fine Foods.  They asked if I wanted to sample some of their products and I said ok, not realizing they would send me a gigantic box of goodies.  If you follow me on Instagram, I took a picture of the package.  I was shocked and excited to make some great new dishes like this super easy chicken dish!

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken


I marinated my chicken in garlic infused red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil , oregano and the key ingredient for extra moist and tender chicken, plain greek yogurt.  I love marinating my chicken in yogurt, it always turns out wonderful.  I don’t know what it is about the yogurt, but  on your next chicken dish, marinate it for at least an hour or two with yogurt.  It’s crazy moist and it doesn’t curdle when you cook it.

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken

For the topping I made a fantastic Mediterranean salsa, that consists of tomatoes, sweet bell pepper, cucumber, black olives, fresh basil, oregano, scallions and goat cheese.  When I let the salsa sit in the fridge for a few hours the goat cheese melted and made the salsa creamy.  If you don’t like or have goat cheese, feta cheese will work too. That was my original intention, but I was out of feta, plus I heart goat cheese.

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken

This dish is very quick to make, I let everything marinate for two or so hours, however, if you make this in the morning and let it sit all day I am sure it will be just as good! Plus if you make extra salsa, you can reserve it to top on crispy french bread or place in a pita.  I had some left over, but I ended up eating it, simply plain.  Makes for a great snack!!  Low calorie and healthy!!

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken

For a little added bonus, I drizzled just a little bit of balsamic glaze over the top of the chicken for an added savory punch.  My Husband skipped out on the balsamic, since he’s not the biggest fan of balsamic vinegar, but I am, and I love it!!    My Husband is all into the olives.  He was picking through the salsa trying to get all the black olives.  When he saw the olives Star Fine Foods sent me, he asked, like a little kid, can I have some.  I said, ok, but don’t eat them all.  He said he left me four olives, I don’t know if that is true, I haven’t looked.  Silly man!!

Well that’s it for me, again I don’t have my glasses, so I hope these pictures aren’t to fuzzy or bright.  I hate not having my glasses.  I think I’ll walk to the store and pick up a pair of those cheap reading glasses.  So for the rest of my day, I guess I’ll be cooking because I don’t need to read a computer for that!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I’d eat it as well, I like meat with vegetables, so healthy. And olives give an extra taste.

    I love marinating my chicken in yogurt too. It really does keep it moist. And this salsa sounds so good, of course anything with goat cheese couldn’t possibly be bad.

    This is what was for dinner tonight (and will be lunch twice this upcoming week). YUM! No balsamic glaze, so just used regular old balsamic and omitted the basil–didn’t feel like going outside in this heat wave we’re having. I added some diced red onion to the veggies. YUM YUM YUM thanks for a great recipe!

    Hey! Thought I would stop by and tell you this dish is AMAZING!! I made it tonight and we loved it. I made a few small changes (I used fresh mozzarella cheese, orange pepper and added garlic and lime to the salsa) just to jazz it up a bit. It is so good!

    Could I do this on the stove or in the oven? If so, how long would I need to leave it?
    Thanks

      Hi Marla, You can bake the chicken at 375 degrees for about 30 – 35 minutes. Or you can cook i ton the stove top in olive oil for about 6 minutes per side, Just make sure the chicken is not pink when you serve it. The thicker the piece of chicken, the longer it takes to cook. Hope this helps. 🙂

Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home.

I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
