Mediterranean Chicken Breasts Recipe Tastefully Simple

Think about the last celebration event you went to such as a wedding, awards ceremony, any type of banquet.  What were they serving?  More than likely a chicken dish with an Italian style sauce.  They typically serve this type of meal because people like it, it's easy enough to prepare and it's expect at "fancy" gatherings.

My challenge to you is to have your own "fancy" night at home.  Chicken with sauce is actually super easy to make, and you can have a complete dinner on the table in less than an hour and that includes the baking time!

Mediterranean Chicken Breasts

• 1/2 cup prepared Spinach & Herb Dip
• 2 tablespoons crumbed tomato and basil feta cheese (or plain)
• 1 tablespoon Roasted Garlic Infused Oil 
• 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 14.5 can diced tomatoes undrained
• 6 1/2-7 1/2 oz jar marinated artichoke hearts drained and chopped
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto Mix

Combine prepared Spinach & Herb Dip and feta cheese; chill until served.  Saute chicken breasts in Roasted Garlic Infused Oil until lightly browned on both sides.  Place in greased 8 inch (2 quart0 glass baking dish.  Combine remaining ingredients, spoon over chicken breasts.  Bake at 350 F for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.  Top each serving with a dollop of Spinach & Herb mixture.  Makes 4 servings.

TIPS

• Serve with pasta or rice on the side
• You can use olive oil in place of Roasted Garlic Infused Oil
• Sprinkle shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese on the chicken during the last few minutes of baking
• Add toasted French bread brushed with Italian Garlic Bread seasoning, seasoned butter
