Sharing one of my favorite dinner recipes from our first Mediterranean diet cookbook, The Mediterranean Diet Made Easy. This One-Pan Lemon & Artichoke Baked Chicken is the perfect meal when you want a relaxed, delicious, homemade made that doesn’t take a lot of effort to bring to the table.
Our Mediterranean Diet Cookbook
In December 2020, our first cookbook, The Mediterranean Diet Made Easy, was published! It features 75 fresh, vibrant recipes for better health. A collection of entirely brand new, simple recipes that are perfect for beginners or anyone just wanting fresh, easy options that are Mediterranean diet inspired.
It’s been fun to share glimpses, read reviews and sift through all your wonderful feedback. Since it’s been out for a few months, I thought it was time to share a few of the recipes. Just to give a little sample of what you can expect.
You can read more about our Mediterranean diet cookbook, read reviews and links to various press surrounding the book on our Mediterranean Diet Made Easy cookbook page.
One-Pan Lemon & Artichoke Baked Chicken
This easy, delicious dinner is one of my personal favorites from the book. It’s hearty, budget friendly, works for families or those cooking just for themselves, and all cooks in a single pan.
This dish reminds me of cozy dinners on evenings when it’s raining outside. The lemon smells so good while cooking. I also love all the juices that stew in the pan while it’s in the oven. Don’t be afraid to grab some crusty bread to dip into that pan sauce.
Cooking tip – I keep the olives whole and half the artichoke hearts because 1) they cook better that way in this dish (too small and they’d cook quicker than the chicken) and 2) my little picky eaters (i.e. kids) can easily pick them out if they don’t want them but still enjoy the chicken.
