Preparation

Step 1

You just can’t go wrong with a meal that includes tomatoes, olives, artichokes, spinach and some tasty chicken – even if it takes just minutes to make!

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil and sauté the chopped onions for 3-4 minutes

Add the minced garlic in with the onions, and sauté together one more minute

Add the sliced mushrooms to the sautéed onions and garlic and cook 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden. Add salt and pepper to taste while cooking

Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to the pan, and toss in the Roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and olives. Sprinkle in the parsley, oregano, and stir a few minutes

Next add the chopped chicken and spinach to the pan – stir and cook 1-2 minutes, or until chicken is heated through. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
