Mediterranean Chicken with Artichokes
2015-01-28 13:21:18
If you have ever been to Europe and enjoyed their cuisine you will really enjoy this dish. And if you haven’t been then you will find this dish a little different and interesting to say the least. It is a unique blend of Italian, Greek and Portuguese flavors blended with fresh thyme, rosemary, and parsley. The wine and balsamic vinegar add a depth of flavor. I used fire roasted tomatoes which gives this Mediterranean Dish the extreme nutty flavor which works very well with the briney flavors of the olives and capers. The longer this cooks the better it tastes. And it is even better the next day when all flavors have really come together. This is a great dish for a dinner party served with a nice salad, some great red wine and crusty bread. You seriously can’t beat a one dish dinner! Easy clean up and I guarantee you your guest will rave about the “Mediterranean Chicken with Atichokes”.
