Greek Chicken My Way

Submitted by Supermom49

"This is something I made up after paying WAY too much for a "pre-bagged" version of this dinner. I usually prep everything the day before and cook this on a weeknight when I don't have as much time to fix dinner. All ingredients can be cut, soaked, etc so all you have to do is fry it up! Very yummy, and all ingredients can be adjusted to fit your taste. Served with pasta and a "Greek style" salad, makes a quick and nutritious meal. Prep time includes marination time."

 

• Ready In: 3hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 2 -3 large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 10 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 -3 teaspoons all purpose Greek seasoning
• 6 -8 sun-dried tomatoes
• 12 -20 kalamata olives
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup feta cheese

directions

1. Toss chicken cubes in 4 Tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with Greek seasoning and let marinate at least two hours. I usually marinate overnight or use my Food Saver to help the process along!
2. Cut dried tomatoes into thin (not quite julienne) strips, soak in another 4 Tbsp olive oil at least two hours, again can be left overnight. Half kalamata olives and set on paper towel to drain.
3. Once everything is marinated and soaked, you are ready to cook --.
4. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil in large skillet. Add chicken and cook until chicken is almost done, about 10 minutes.
5. Add sun dried tomatoes, cook an additional 3-5 minutes.
6. Add kalamata olives, stir until heated through.
7. Last, add feta cheese, cover pan until cheese just begins to melt.
8. Serve either with or over pasta of your choice (we usually serve with penne pasta, but that's our favorite shape!).
9. NOTE: If you are unable to find Greek Seasoning in your local store, the recipe for Greek Seasoning Blend http://www.food.com/recipe/greek-seasoning-blend-59207 works well too!
