We had a ton of fun with Josh’s brother’s family during the holidays. They stayed with us for about a week and it was a nonstop party. There were six little boys running around so we were always on the go. My sister-in-law and I teamed up in the kitchen to make meals for the crew and one of the favorites from the week was this Skillet Chicken with Chickpeas, Tomato, and Olives. Our boys loved it so much that we made it again last week for dinner. It is a dinner staple now.
When our family was here, we cooked every day because we weren’t about to take six boys under the age of five to a restaurant..ha! One of the days it was snowing and we didn’t want to leave the house so we got creative with what was in our fridge and pantry. We came up with this Skillet Chicken with Tomatoes, Chickpeas, and Olives. My sister-in-law is super talented, especially in the kitchen. It was so fun cooking with her all week. She took the lead on this recipe and nailed it!
This chicken dish is full of flavor and is made in ONE skillet. It is super easy, but super impressive. It will make you feel like you are eating at a gourmet restaurant, but you don’t have to go anywhere. The chicken is tender, juicy, and is so good with the chickpeas, tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta, and basil. We like to serve the dish with rice or quinoa. Oh, and another bonus? All of the boys loved it, which was kind of a surprise. We had quesadillas as a back up if they wouldn’t eat it, but they all enjoyed it. Ok, Maxwell didn’t eat his olives, but he ate everything else. Caleb actually loves olives so he ate the olives off of Maxwell’s plate. Brotherly love:) Add this easy and hearty Skillet Chicken with Tomatoes, Chickpeas, and Olives to your dinner rotation. It is a family favorite!
