Healthy Mediterranean Chicken
Everyone needs a go to chicken dish. Something that is quick and easy yet full of deliciousness. This healthy Mediterranean Chicken dish is probably mine.
There is so much going for it. It has so many of my favourite flavours in it, full of tomato, zucchini and capers. It is quick and simple to make and healthy as well. And the girls will happily eat it making it the perfect family friendly dish. The leftovers a fabulous for lunches or to go in the freezer for another day. I will often make a double batch just to pop a meal away for another day.
It works quite well in the slow cooker too making my healthy Mediterranean chicken the perfect weeknight dish when you know you will be short on time in the evening.
