This has a nice mix of flavors, and the stars are definitley the olives and the feta cheese. Yum! I think this would work with ground chicken or turkey sauteed with the garlic if someone didn't marinate chicken ahead of time. I'm trying it that way next time. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 09.

5 stars all the way! I prepped the chicken this morning before I left for work, so everything came together really quickly for dinner tonight. We had some leftover gluten free pasta from a few nights ago so that sped up the process even more. I used 3 small chicken breasts, 6 cloves of garlic, and a little more than a 1/4 cup of olives. It was absolutely delish! I especially loved the tanginess of the olives. Thank you so much for posting! Review for PAC - Fall '08.

<p>I love cooking, dancing, singing, fundraising, researching interesting topics, being a mom and wife. Oh, and I love the coast! <br /><br /><br />I have a Master's Degree in Speech/Language Pathology. Our beautiful, one and only son will be off to college in two years. When that happens, I will diligently pursue Speech/Language Pathology again. <br /><br />I've been cooking since I was 8 years old. My first memory of cooking alone ...I'm on one of our kitchen chairs, it's a Saturday morning, and I'm frying bacon. <br /><br />I fried it alright. Didn't realize that food would continue to cook after taken off the burner. I was hooked. <br /><br />I love a challenge. <br /><br />I am having a great time on this site!<a href=http://photobucket.com/icons/ target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> <br /><br />I>http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa118/detenator_2007/emoticons/yay.gif> <br /><br />I am participating/participated in: <br /><img src=<a href= alt= /> <br /><br />http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/APG/576-21387~Oooookles-of-Noodles-posters.jpg> <br /><br />src=<a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> <br /><br />http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> <br /><br />http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> <br /><br />http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> <br /><br />http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> <br /><br />href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> <br /><br />http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd223/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg> <br /><br />href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank> <br /><br /><img src=<a href= alt= />>http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/footballpool-1.jpg></p>
