Mediterranean Chicken Packets




Don't let the lame name mislead you. This was delicious! Buttered orzo made a good partner for the dish.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves
s/p
1 can diced tomatoes, drained (i just used 3 fresh roma tomatoes chopped)
4 artichoke hearts, quartered (i got a few from the olive bar at the store)
12 kalamata olives, halved and pitted (again from the olive bar)
4 tsp capers (i omitted this b/c they are dumb) :)
1/2 c crumbled feta
1/2 tsp italian seasoning (i made my own out of a few herbs from the cupboard)
1 tbspn olive oil

1. preheat oven to 375. place 4 12 inch squares of parchment paper of heavy duty foil on a work surface. place a chicken breast on one half of each square, leaving a 2 inch boarder. season with s/p.

2. dividing evenly, top chicken with tomatoes, artichokes. olives, capers and feta. sprinkle with italian seasoning and oil. fold parchment over ingredients, and crimp edges to seal. * i just put the chicken directly on some tin foil and folded it tightly to create a packet.

3. place packets on rimmed baking sheet. bake chicken until opaque through out, 20-22 minutes.



yum!!!!!

we'll have to make this when i come to visit you. darin doesn't like half the ingredients, so it might be a wasted effort.
