I Thought I Knew You, What Did I Know?

Another Mediterranean Chicken recipe.  This time with artichokes and olives.  I used chicken breasts for a low fat, low carb option.  Of course it's better with thighs, but these worked surprisingly well, especially when you marinate them first. What's great about breasts that I never realized, is that when you cook them well, reheating them does not dry them out  They stay juicy.  This was a great adult lunch box meal for that reason. 

I roasted spicy chick peas and served them alongside a cool, tangy cucumber salad. 

Take the time to open two cans of chick peas, drain, dry and then oil and spice before roasting in a single layer. These are excellent snacks for work and also serve as a nice side dish.  They're great to have around and are still very inexpensive.
