There is about a moment every month where I just need the whole Mediterranean shebang with of middle eastern sides invited as well. I’m talking pita, butter rice and vermicelli, hummus, feta salads, the list can really go on and on. The days I do these kind of feasts I’m generally really overly excited and people just don’t seem to get it. I don’t know something about a big plate of food that isn’t covered in grease and fats that’s light and crazy satisfying . Who wouldn’t be excited?
So food my feast I usually do olive oil herb chicken kabobs or some type of beef. But this time I figured lets do whole chicken breast. Lets go big. I’m really so glad I did because it cut down on the kabob time immensely. With kabob time you have to figure in chicken fabrication, soaking the skewers, and threading the chicken onto the skewers. That wasn’t happening this time. I’ll probably resume that next go around but not today.
I really like incorporating briny veggies to stuff like this that’s so fresh. Its like that zing of salt and acid that you didn’t know you needed. And P.S. I just thought about it and roasted red peppers would be awesome in this too.

You’re secret is safe with me 😁
Well thank you because I am 26. Smiling always seems to make you look a little younger.😃
Lol!! I support you..
Your new picture, you look young! The other made you look mid 20’s.
I hear ya. I started chopping them up on burgers instead of the the slices because that sends shivers down my spin. That helped, so I’m slowly coming around. One day.
I really wish I liked them actually… but I just can’t..
Ha! Thank you. They are super easy to eat around on this one or to scoot onto other people’s plates.
Absolutely awesome! Minus the tomatoes 😝😁
Thank you! I totally agree. Let me know how you like it when you try it!😃
I’m the same way! I crave the fresh, light flavours of the Mediterranean. This chicken looks delicious! Must try!
