MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN BAKE RECIPE

This easy dinner is so delicious that you won’t believe that you can make it in just minutes using only one dish!  The Mediterranean Chicken Bake recipe has all the flavors you love like tomatoes, spinach, artichokes, feta, lemon and greek seasoning baked right on top of wholesome chicken breast.  This is equally perfect for a busy weeknight or entertaining friends!

There are so many things we have loved about living in Utah.  We love our friendly neighborhood, walking out the door to views that make you feel like you actually snuck into a resort and have been hiding away waiting for them to tell you that you have to pay much more to access all of the beauty, and new experiences, like gardening.

So now it was and I spent far more than I might have actually spent buying produce planting the garden of a lifetime!  I asked my friends what to plant and they said zucchini!  You can’t kill zucchini.  Well I did.  3 times.  But I did manage to keep a few tomato plants alive and well enough to give me a tub full of tomatoes this past August.

All the fresh produce makes me excited to cook things that show them off so I combined them with some of my favorites, fresh spinach, tangy artichokes, lemon juice, capers, greek seasoning and topped it all with delicious mozzarella and feta cheeses to make what came out of the oven as one of my new favorite dinners!

Ingredients

• 3-4 Chicken Breasts
• 1 Tbsp Cavendar's Greek Seasoning
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

• 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Lay the chicken side by side in the bottom of a large baking dish, then sprinkle the greek seasoning evenly over the top of each piece of chicken.
3. Layer on the chopped artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and spinach and then sprinkle the capers, lemon juice and olive oil over it.
4. Top the dish with the mozzarella and feta cheeses and place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is browned on top.
