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!
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.
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
- knife
- chopping board
- large casserole dish
