This Mediterranean Chicken with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers is a zesty dish that’s always a crowd favorite!

It’s not over til it’s over folks. I’m hanging on to summer for as long as I can, and I’m not letting go! I know everyone’s starting to talk apples and pumpkin spice, but I’m not ready for that just yet. There are still so many wonderful summer things to savor, and at the top of that list are one of my favorites….tomatoes. So today I’m serving one of my favorite dishes, Mediterranean Chicken with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers.

My neighbors, Chad and Christina have a huge garden back at their home in Pennsylvania, and when they come down to the beach on weekends I am lucky enough, from time to time, to share in their crops. They’ve got it all, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers! I know how much work goes into a garden because I had a small one when my boys were little. I just had a few tomato plants, a few different types of pepper plants and some basil. It was hard work because I am so NOT the green thumb, but it was such fun just walking out to the garden, picking what was ready, and making something fresh and delicious for my family.

In this Mediterranean Chicken dish those gorgeous grape tomatoes, with a few cherry tomatoes thrown in, are from Chad and Christina’s garden. They were perfectly red, ripe and juicy and really made this dish. This is one of my favorite chicken dish recipes because it’s got so much flavor, and is just packed with tasty ingredients. The garlic, onions, sweet raisins, salty olives, juicy grape tomatoes, marsala wine and tangy white wine vinegar just come together perfectly to make for a dinner that is the ultimate in Mediterranean flavor. I like to serve this dish with a side of mashed potatoes or orzo pasta and spoon the extra sauce over the top.

So if you’re looking for a way to use up those end of summer tomatoes, you need to give this dish a go! I guarantee it will be a hit, and will leave you saying, “winner, winner, chicken dinner!”

Have a great week guys and see you back at the kitchen on Thursday!

    This looks INSANELY good! Truth be told, we’re already had a few “crisp” evenings and I’m already planning on when to get out my fall decorations. I’m excited for the seasons to change! But I’m not yet ready to let go of all this fresh produce! Great recipe!

        Hi Mary Ann…could I add some cream to this?

          Yes, you could add a little cream. Great idea! I’m thinking 1/3 – 1/2 cup would work. I would add it after step #9 and let it simmer for a few minutes. Thanks for the comment and have a great week!

    I am totally NOT having any of that pumpkin and apple talk around me either! Like back away from the Halloween candy people! Go pick up some tomatoes instead! :) LOVE this dish, Mary Ann! Mediterranean flavors are so delicious, and I am smitten with crispy chicken pairing! This is absolutely PERFECT! Pinned! P.S. Tell your friends they can send some of their yummy garden pick-ins my way! Cheers, my dear!!

    September and October are gorgeous warm months here on the California coast. I do miss the longer days and I can’t wait to get some rain. I can’t stand the early decorations for the holidays. Your chicken dish looks fantastic.

    This looks so amazing and so full of flavor!! I am so loving all the fresh tomatoes and will be so sad when they’re gone. I’ve been buying them every week at the farmers market, but I know that won’t last much longer. I need to plan to make this while they’re at their prime. My husband would totally love this with all the olives and onions- yum!!

      It really is such a flavorful dish Jessica. I think your husband would love it! I will be so sad when all the fresh produce starts to dwindle too. There will be lots of different things for us to cook up for the fall though! Apples and pumpkin spice here we come!!
