Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Recipe

Sharing is caring!

I don’t know about you, but I love Mediterranean food. I could probably eat it every day.

I have a weakness for hummus, actually.

I had some pepperonis, olives and sun-dried tomato basil spread that I wanted to use in different recipes. I thought a grilled Mediterranean chicken recipe would be perfect. We were headed over to our friend Amanda’s house to let the kids play and they were grilling hamburgers. I offered to bring chicken that we could throw on the grill.

This time of year is the perfect time to grill, and I love cooking in foil packets. Chicken Recipes like this are perfect for summertime when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen.

Here is how I made this. It took minutes to prepare and cook and it turned out fabulous!

Gather up your ingredients. I used these because I had them on hand from when I made the Mediterranean breakfast sandwich.

Take it out of the foil packet and plate it up.

We served this with an easy spinach, strawberry and feta salad with a raspberry vinaigrette. It was what was in the fridge. Super simple!
