Recipe: Mediterranean Chicken with Potato Noodles

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1/2 teaspoon each salt & pepper
• 1 tomato, seeded & chopped (or use sun-dried tomatoes!)
• 1 yellow pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
• 8 mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 jar artichoke hearts, diced into bite size pieces
• 1.5 cups chicken broth (start with 1 cup and add more if needed)
• 3 medium sized red potatoes, peeled
• 2 tablespoons Feta cheese
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 2 teapoon paprika (add to taste at end)
• 3 cloves crushed garlic
• 2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (use 1 if you don’t like spicy food)
• 1/4 red onion, sliced
• 8 leaves of fresh basil, minced (reserve 2 for garnish if you like)
• Black olives for serving

Directions

1. In a large pan, add olive oil and heat on medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sear on each side for 1 minute. Then cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side. Once the first side is cooked cover the pan with a lid while cooking the other side (this makes the chicken juicier).
2. While chicken is cooking, wash and prep all the veggies. Then peel and spiralize your potatoes.
3. Once chicken is cooked, take out of pan and let rest for a few minutes while you cook the other ingredients. Add in garlic, onion, peppers, mushrooms, crushed red pepper, lemon, additional salt and pepper, minced basil, 1 cup chicken broth and potato noodles to the pan. Cook approximately 7 minutes (stir 3-4 times). While veggies cook cube up the chicken.
4. Add cubed chicken and artichoke hearts to the pan and let the flavors meld 3 minutes, taste the dish and add in paprika to taste. If the noodles have absorbed all the sauce and become dry add in additional chicken broth as needed so the dish has some sauce.
5. Plate two servings, and add 1 tbsp Feta on top of each plate, garnish with basil leaves and black olives.
