This is one of the best Mediterranean chicken recipes, not only is it a delicious dish but also packs a punch in terms of health benefits. If you like one pan meals, then this is for you. Plus, it’s ready in just 20 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
Now, for those who don’t like anchovies. While some might be hesitant to use them, they actually contribute a lot to the dish. Let me explain! Anchovies add a subtle umami flavour, that enhances the overall taste of the chicken without making it taste fishy. Umami is often described as the savoury or meaty taste, and it’s one of the five basic tastes alongside sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. So don’t be scared to use them.
In terms of health benefits, this dish is packed with protein from the chicken breasts, which helps in muscle growth and repair. The extra virgin olive oil used in cooking is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can help reduce the risk of heart disease. So use a good one, don’t buy the cheap fake ones in your supermarket. (See my video on buying good olive oil)
The garlic and chili make the dish tasty and help fight off germs and reduce inflammation. Garlic is like a superhero for your immune system and can even help with blood pressure and cholesterol. Cherry tomatoes give you vitamins and antioxidants that keep you healthy. And olives bring in good fats and more antioxidants, especially vitamin E. So, not only is this delicious Mediterranean chicken quick and easy, but it’s also really good for you. So, enjoy it today!

This must be fantastic. I'll be making it next week (as soon as I get to the grocery).
Thank you!!! I was looking for some easy chicken recipes but everything includes soy sos and what not…
You lost me at the anchovies.
Outstanding news fans. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Ephesians 2:8 Do you fear death? Jesus died on the cross for you, repent and believe.
You ace the art of storytelling in poetry ❤❤❤
What kind of chili is the "red chili" used here? Where I live, we have a huge variety and there isn't one that resembles this that isn't dried.
Lindo perrito 😊 esta delicioso.
Great recipe and love your doggie!! YUMMY
Fabulous recipe. I loved it. Hubby loved everything except the black olives, peppers, tomatoes, anchovies, and garlic. I’m still going to keep making it for me.
I’m on a low carb regime. This dish is PERFECT for me, served with a big leafy salad. Thank you!
is the chicken raw?
Not only yummy but very aesthetically pleasing to watch.Thank you
I made this during the week. It's was amazing. Due to medication my sense of smell and taste are impaired. I could smell this as I cooked it. I could smell it whilst I waited for eating time and it tasted amazing! I had no parsely so used Lemon Balm from the garden.
I am making it again on Sunday when my daughter comes over. I hope to enjoy it like I did this first time. 🥰
One like to camera man

Wine⛔
Thank you for this recipe. I tried it tonight and my husband loves it!🎉🎉🎉
Hello, It was an amazing recipe I must say but I am Muslim so can you please suggest me anything I can add into this recipe instead of whine??
No anchovies for me. I’d use chicken stock – homemade – instead of wine. I’m Lebanese so olives and tomatoes for sure plus a bit of lemon.
Ill have omit olives and tomatoes
Is there any way I can get the name of the song playing in the background? And the dish LOOKS DELICIOUS. GOING TO MAKE IT FOR SURE.
Dog’s so cute
What can you replace the wine with ?
so many ppl are afraid to use anchovies but they really add an amazing kick to food. I can't to tr this on a weeknight. Thanks as always for sharing!
Whiskey can wait

May I ask what is the alternative for the white wine as I am allergy to alcohol..
