Mediterranean Chicken Skillet

 Pin It
This recipe is another blast from the past. I made it in my first few months of blogging and haven't stopped thinking about it. You know if you're still thinking about a recipe over three years and a thousand recipes later, you should make it again! Unfortunately the photographs of it still aren't great, but such is life when you're home for dinner, long after the winter sun has set. 
Ryan actually threw this together for one and start to finish it didn't take more than thirty minutes. We add it with some rolls on the side, but it would also be really good over rice or quinoa to soak up the extra juices. The feta and kalamata olives make it a bit of a salt bomb, but the saltiness is balanced by the tomatoes and artichoke hearts.

I definitely won't be letting another three years go by before we have this again. This is a great weeknight dinner option!
