Directions
Greek Island Chicken With Marinated Artichokes, A tasty chicken dish – with a flavoursome blend of herbs, spices, vegetables and honey – which is nonetheless still reasonably low both in calories and in fat. Adapted from Paige Morehouse’s recipe which appears in Prevention Healthy Cooking’s ‘Eat Up, Slim Down: Tried-and-true recipes and tips from real weight-loss winners’ by Jane Kirby and David Joachim. Because the recipe contains several vegetables, it really is a stand-alone dish. When I’ve made it, I’ve added a bit more garlic personal preference. The original recipe had 2 cloves of garlic; and I’ve included more like 8 ounces of mushrooms again, personal preference. The original recipe had 3 ounces of mushrooms. I’ve always used kalamata olives when making this dish., WOW, all 3 of us were delighted with this dish. I followed the recipe to a “T”, ok, now that I said that I discovered I have never had lemon pepper in my spice cabinet so I added pepper and some lemon zest and the sun dried tomatoes were packed in oil. No problem! I also added the honey and a touch less cinnamon. Next time I will use only 1/2 teaspoon. The cinnamon was a fabulous touch, it added great flavor as did the honey, which did not add sweetness and nearly undetectable but somehow you could tell it was there. So I have to disagree with were apprehensive about adding these 2 key ingredients, GO FOR IT! A squeeze of lemon at the table is necessary IMO. Gosh, we REALLY loved this! Thanks for posting!
