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 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!

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. 🙂

I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it.

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
