  1. Di, I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. My husband's first word after his first bite was "Phenomenal." I only made one change, and that was omitting the mushrooms, because he won't eat them, and hates to have to pick them out. But the recipe and rest of the ingredients were followed to the letter. This really has great flavor! And it makes a nice sauce, too. Very quick to "prep" and to cook. I'm not a big fan of feta, but I found that it went so well with the rest of the flavors in the dish, and the olives are a very nice addition. Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  2. This was quite tasty, I used fresh spinach and canned mushrooms becaue they were what I had around.They seemed to work ok. Also cut the recipe in half for the two of us and we will finish it for lunch tomorrow.
     
  3. Even though i found i had a few ingredients missing - the wine and tomatoes - this was an incredible meal my whole family enjoyed - Excellent Dish !! Thanks Dinana
     
  4. Way to go DiB's ... Quite creative of you. I cut the recipe in 1/2 and I used white wine instead of red since that is what I had. The dish still turned out delicious. I love feta; so, I used it. But, for those of you that don't like feta, do not let that stop you from trying this dish. I I think it is great with and without it.
     
  5. While making this I didn't think I was going to really like it but it was Awesome!!! My husband who normally hates left overs had this for both lunch and dinner. Since I didn't have any canned tomatoes I followed another reviewers suggestion and added freash tomatoes and also a can of artichokes. I did use a can of olives which I found a bit over whelming so next time i will use only half that amount. Next time I make it I am going to add the freash tomatoes last since they went too mushy adding them sooner. I also served this with jasmine rice since there wasn't really any sauce. But this was an awesome meal and will be made again.

Tweaks

  1. My husband adored this! We substituted garlic salt for salt, cut the recipe in half but use 3 garlic cloves, added more spinach and black olives, omitted the green olives and use fresh tomatoes. Amazing!!
     
  2. Very good. Served with Tzatziki #59336, Greek Oven Fries #18762, and a Greek Salad #66596 with the feta left out. I thought it would be too much "Greek" but it was perfect. For the chicken, I used a handful of chicken tenders for two adults and several children. I used fresh tomatoes, since they're in season, but I used frozen spinach and no mushrooms. I substituted chicken broth for the red wine, and next time will reduce to 1/4 cup since there was too much. I went back and forth about adding feta, but I did and it was very necessary to the dish. Very colorful meal; a great way to get a lot of vegetables. I would have given it five stars, but the other diners gave it mixed reviews.
     
  3. An idea for vegetarianising this recipe...substitute the chicken with dried bean curd sticks. they can look suspiciously like flaky bits of chicken.
