Mediterranean chicken and rice bowl
Mediterranean chicken and rice bowl
A super delicious and easy family favorite meal that comes together in no time. While the chickens in the oven, I make the rice and salad by the time the chicken is done everything else is done too. For a healthier option, you can substitute the rice for mixed greens or lettuce.
Written recipe and measurements are on the link in my bio!! Enjoy!!
