Mr. Tim's Mediterranean Chicken

Submitted by Jenny M

"We were lucky enough to have Mr. Tim, a former chef, prepare the most delicious dinner that even my 9 yr old gobbled down. I picked his brain for the ingredients and tried to recreate it. This will be a new staple in our home. Delicious served over jasmine/basmati rice, with a salad. Thanks, Mr. Tim! "
