Mediterranean Chicken
I made a good, quick, healthy dinner a few nights ago that I 'd like to share. It only took 30-45 minutes to prepare from start to finish. First, I started the roasted squash - while the oven was preheating to 450, I chopped, tossed with oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper and then roasted for about 20 minutes (flipped half way through).
Next, I started the chicken - I sliced an onion and crushed 3 cloves of garlic then cooked in a heated sauté pan for a few minutes. Then I added the chicken (I used 3 large breast and sliced them in half) and four slices of bacon (diced), turning after the chicken browned a little. Next I added 8oz (pre) sliced mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning, salt and pepper, a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and about 1/2 cup of sun dried tomatoes (the dried ones not the ones in oil). I covered it and let it cook for about 20 minutes. While it was cooking I made a box of whole wheat couscous. Quick, easy and yummy!
