MEDITERRANEAN LEMON CHICKEN AND RICE ONE-POT MEAL-1

This easy one-pot meal is full of Mediterranean flavors—lemon, oregano, garlic, salty olives, and fresh parsley! It takes about an hour to cook, but comes together very quickly. Serve with a Mediterranean-style salad for a nourishing, weeknight meal! If you tolerate dairy, crumbled feta cheese can be used for an extra garnish.

We made this easy, quick dinner for our adult daughter & her husband. She just had a baby and is eating SO MUCH FOOD. We've been struggling to find recipes that satisfy their ravenous appetites, and this recipe was one of their (and our) favorites!
