Surely I was not the only one wondering if they were on candid camera today when I strolled into the produce aisle of our local Whole Foods and found this. Alright, so my green smoothies were going back to frozen spinach. {My husband can make all the jokes he wants about the horror of not having arugula, kale and baby spinach...} Anyway, it wasn't until I arrived home with the kids at 6pm that I realized without my normal Monday stock of fruits and veggies our dinner ingredients were slim. (Understatement.) Freak out? No. Take-out? No. (At least not tonight.)
A quick inventory of the freezer (chicken) + pantry (diced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes and kalamata olives) + fridge (1/2 a bottle of white wine, 1/2 a tub of Feta, and a lonely package of fresh mint-- though you could totally use dried mint) and voila: dinner assembled in minutes. Preheat the oven to 375, and all you do is pop all of the ingredients into a baking dish, give it a stir so the flavors blend while cooking, and bake it for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. How easy is that? And you'll just have to trust me that my house smells sooooo good as it's cooking! This is actually a variation of a Mediterranean Shrimp video I shot a while back, so check that out, if you'd like. Might be nice as a Valentine's meal if you're looking for something special, that's still super easy. Here is tonight's dinner in pics, for those who like a visual:
If you end up with extra, this meal freezes nicely too. I plan to serve ours over couscous... if I remember, I'll snap a pic.
