I love this dish, I love it a lot. I love when something so simple can taste so good. Many times you try new recipes and they can fall a little flat. Some you even tweak, as they are worth making a little extra effort to improve them. This one, was just perfect.
My family to, loved this. But not each one of them liked all that was in there. But was great was that it still catered for everyone. I have one child that doesn't eat capsicum, so he left the capsicum, but ate the rest. One doesn't like olives, so don't eat an olive, there is so much choice in this dish and they all work together.
I loved everything about this dish, the simplicity, the flavour, the smell in the house, the chicken, the vegetables, the feta, the lot.
The original recipe called this Greek Chicken, I felt the need to change the name as I felt many Mediterranean families would include all these ingredients in their diet. My parents are Croatian and I grew up on all these ingredients, the Italians I know, eat them to, so I felt Mediterranean was a more fitting name.
Whatever it is called it is a great dish, one your family will love.
