MARINATED MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN
This Mediterranean-inspired chicken dish comes packed with an array of bold flavored ingredients-from pimiento-stuffed olives, meaty artichokes, and balsamic vinegar to sweet golden raisins, dried dates, and briny capers-that create an amazing blend of flavors and textures. Chicken thighs, with their higher fat content, give this dish a wonderful richness and juiciness that chicken breasts lack. This dish is easy to make, delicious leftover or reheated, great hot or at room temperature, and perfect for toting in a covered dish. Be sure to serve it over steamed brown rice or couscous to soak up all those delicious juices.

Steps:
- Combine the chicken, artichoke hearts, dates, sugar, raisins, olives, vinegar, garlic, basil, capers, oil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large zip-close plastic bag. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat the chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and arrange them in a single layer in a large roasting pan. Pour the marinade over the chicken, then pour in the broth. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 160ºF, 35-45 minutes. Yields 1 thigh with about 1/2 cup sauce.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN
Battered and then oven fried, these chicken breasts then get topped with a Mediterranean-inspired vegetable salsa. The seasoned batter crisps up in the heat of the oven and also helps insulate the chicken, keeping it moist. We opted for an Italian dressing to mix with the vegetables, but a variety of vinaigrette flavors will complement the other ingredients. Use whatever olive variety that you like; kalamata and Castelvetrano olives would both be delicious choices. When buying avocados, be cognizant of when you plan to use them. If it will be a few days, buy a firm one so that it will be ripe by the time you're ready to use it. If you plan to use it the same day, then find one that's a tad soft.
