CHICKEN MEDITERRANEAN FOR TWO
I found this while doing a search in the Southern Living website. I printed it out in 2005. At first glance this recipe doesn't look as quick and simple as it is. The 2 hour preparation time is the minimum marinade time of the chicken in the fridge. In fact, this can marinade for up to 24 hours. Also, the cook time doesn't include cooking the pasta because both the chicken and pasta cook about the same time. The chicken can be cubed or sliced. I slice the chicken because that is my family's preference. To prepare four servings, just double all the ingredients listed here except the tomatoes and prepare the same way. I've doubled it and it retains all of its flavor.
