Greek Chicken Casserole Ingredients

List of main ingredients for this recipe:

• Chicken – of course, this is the star of this show. I like to use skinless, boneless chicken breasts for this recipe, but you can also use chicken tenders or bonless chicken thighs which are sometimes less expensive for the same flavor! Boneless, skinless thighs stay extra juicy. Cooked rotisserie chicken works too (see Variations)
• Roasted Peppers – You can roast your own peppers, but I recommend buying the jarred variety. They are a great pantry staple to have on hand for many recipes. 
• Cheese – “Mozzarella gives a melty top. For a more traditional Greek flavor, swap in crumbled feta, or use half of each. For the best melt, shred your own mozzarella. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents.” (This last part is from your reader comment, which you agreed with.)
• Lemon ( – “A squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving brightens the whole dish.”
• Artichoke Hearts – You can use fresh steamed artichoke hearts if you want, but I recommend canned or frozen artichoke hearts for this recipe which are so much easier and just as delicious. 
• Red Onion – a must in so many greek recipes
• Olives – I used kalamata olives, but you can use black olives too.
• fresh parsley – optional

Equipment
