When something is a one-tray wonder – it just tastes better, right? (We sure think so). The thing we love most about this One-Tray Mediterranean Chicken is that it’s high in essential nutrients such as lycopene (from the tomatoes) that’s a potent antioxidant, is packed with lean protein from the chicken to support all growth processes in the body, and is fuelled with good fats from the olives that support skin and even heart health. The delicious medley of salty, aromatic flavours in this dish is just a bonus.
