Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

Chicken Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Veggie Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon

    extra-virgin olive oil


  • 1 medium red onion cut into very thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 2 14-ounce cans artichoke hearts drained and halved
  • 1 can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
  • 3/4 cups kalamata olives pitted
  • 1 medium tomato quarted
  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup basil leaves chopped
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Butterfly the chicken on a cutting board by placing your hand on top of the breast and using a chef's knife to slice into one side of the breast, starting at the thicker end and ending at the thin point. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.
  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken, lemon juice, oil, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts with the sides folded out like a butterfly in a single layer in the prepared baking dish and bake for 12 minutes, until cooked through.
  • While the chicken is cooking, add olive oil to a skillet, and sauté the onion and garlic for about 4 minutes on medium heat, or until translucent.
  • Add the artichokes, garbanzo beans and olives and sauté for 4 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for about 1 minute or until it wilts.
  • Add the basil and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it sit for
5 minutes.
  • Cut the chicken into strips.
  • Add the chicken and veggies to a bowl, add the parmesan, mix well, and serve.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
