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.

      Just make your salsa on the side, and just serve hubby the chicken. The salsa is great the next day, I topped it on my salad.

    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. 🙂

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!

Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
