Deliciously Healthy: A Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Delight
This Mediterranean Chicken, Spinach, and Feta Casserole is a delightful blend of flavors and textures that brings a taste of the Mediterranean to your table. The recipe starts with sautéing onions, sweet bell peppers, and mushrooms in oil, creating a flavorful base. Ground chicken is then added and cooked until no longer pink, followed by the addition of fresh spinach, which wilts beautifully into the mixture. This combination of ingredients not only enhances the dish’s taste but also incorporates a variety of nutrients, making it a wholesome meal option.
The creamy element of the casserole comes from a mixture of plain Greek yogurt, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives, which adds richness and tang. This mixture is incorporated into the chicken and vegetable blend, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. To finish off the dish, shredded Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top, along with halved grape tomatoes, before baking it until golden and bubbly.

Grandma you know we touched our toes in the Mediterranean one time we did yep we really did and so I I guess you’re about to cook something Mediterranean aren’t you I am okay uh we are doing a chicken spinach and feta Mediterranean dish today and in it we have uh this is orange yellow and red sweet bell pepper turn your light on.
Baby I have mushrooms now the recipe did not call for mushrooms I’m putting mushrooms in it we have parmesan cheese feta cheese Greek yogurt we have some BR chicken behind me and uh then we have our spinach right here so I’ll just put it right there but the first thing I’ve got my Skillet on my cast iron skillet on.
Behind me and I’ve got my oven set on 4 125° did you say olives calamari I saw them or it’s fell I’ve always said calamari it’s all it’s spelled calam calamada always so I guess that’s the way you pronounce calamari is a seafood squid is it calamari yeah when you order on yeah but I’ve always called.
H that too but it’s calamada okay or that’s the way it’s spelled yeah calamari is yeah that thing I don’t like I don’t like them they’re too spongy for me I just I’m I like them I’m not a big Seafood eater anyway I like them fried I don’t I like clam strips fried I.
Like oh that’s about all the seafood I like I guess I’m not a shrimp eater uh I can’t eat them fried I don’t like them uh boiled or sauteed or anything like that all right now I’ve got one cup of uh my Peppers cut up and we’re going to do one cup of onions I’m hoping I’ve got a cup if I.
Don’t it’ll be close enough okay all right still got your fingers I still got my fingers I always keep my fingers curled you may not can tell it but I do all right that’s close enough to a cup now it calls for five oz of the olives and we have to cut them in half I’m not sure how much 5 oz.
Is of but I’ll just put what I think but I’ll have the the in the recipe in the description box the recipe and it says 5 oz so uh this jar says now I’m going I don’t know that I’ve ever noticed this Dr weight 5.99 Oz net weight.
12.35 I think the first one the 5 point something is the actual olives and the total weight is the olives with the juice I’m thinking that’s what it is but I’m not going to put this whole jar of olives in this dish no because she’ll eat the rest of them one by one just like she’s picking them out there I love these things she loves them wow oh.
There’s any kind of olive I love black olives green olives stuffed olives as a matter of fact when we got these we found some green olives that were stuff stuffed with jalapeno and uh feta cheese feta cheese I almost got that but I said no but they were very large light green yeah they were big really big ones so um I’m probably going to do.
About a half to 34 cup of these olives now my uh oil is getting let me turn this light my oil is getting hot behind me I’m going to put my onions my cup of onion my cup of sweet peppers now you can use the the Bell if you want to the recipe calls for red but I have a mixture and I thought it’ really be.
Pretty so I’m doing the mixture and I’m going to go ahead and put my mushrooms in here this is done at a couple of steps but it’s all done in one in this one Skillet right here so you don’t have to mess up now I am going to mix some my cheese sauce in that uh in that bowl but all the cooking is done in this one.

To finish cutting up my olives here um it’s not a big casserole um I don’t know why they wanted so many olives in it but I think I’ve about got that’s about all I’m going to put about four serving isn’t it three or four servings yeah mhm I think that’s.
