Feed Your Soul: Mediterannean Chicken

This is a dish I came across when I was on my search for cleaner healthier eating yet still had a lot of flavor. My husband hates "healthy food" so I had to find dishes that were still very filling and had great taste while containing healthy ingredients. This one was a match!

This is a super easy dish for weeknight cooking. I particularly love it because it gives me a chance to use plenty of fresh basil from my small garden. I love the taste of the onions, olives, tomatoes and basil mixed in with the Vodka sauce. I enjoy eating the veggie portion of this dish more then even the chicken itself!

The way this dish is cooked, the chicken remains very flavorful and juicy. I personally like to cook in a cast iron skillet or any oven save skillet so I can keep this a one dish meal going from stove top to oven.

If you are asking yourself what's for dinner tonight, then give this dish a try!.
