    It’s super simple to make and is packed full of delicious Mediterranean flavours and healthy ingredients. Succulent chicken, white bean, olives, tomatoes, and feta are all drizzled with a balsamic marinade. Serve as is or with a simple side salad and crusty bread so you can mop up all the juices.

    Don’t think your children will like olives? Start with the black ones, they are much milder tasting, just be sure to buy pitted olives to avoid the stones. To make preparation for this recipe easier, marinade the chicken the night before or morning of, and wash and chop the remaining ingredients so you can just pop it in the oven when you are ready.  Enjoy xx

    Step 4: Place the chicken in the baking dish, tucking the edges under rather than it laying flat.  Drizzle all over with half the remaining marinade. Bake for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
