MEDITERRANEAN LEMON OLIVE CHICKEN
This dish sounds wonderful! IMHO. I'm planning to give it a try soon. This dish may be frozen for as long as 6 weeks. Freeze Chicken pieces individually with sauce. To reheat it, thaw. Then put a small amount of water in the bottom of the skillet, placing chicken inside. Cover and steam until heated through. From Food Everyday Issue 1.

Steps:
- Whisk together all of the marinade/dressing ingredients in a large container. Pour out half of the marinade into a large, shallow dish or into a large ziplock bag. Refrigerate the remaining marinade to use as the dressing later. Add the chicken to the marinade in the bowl or bag. Marinade chicken for 15 to 30 minutes, or up to two hours in the refrigerator if time allows. Before cooking the chicken, prepare all of the salad ingredients and mix in a large salad bowl. Once chicken is ready, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan or over medium-high heat. Grill chicken on both sides until browned and completely cooked through. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes; slice and arrange over salad. Drizzle salad with the remaining dressing. Serve with lemon wedges.
MEDITERRANEAN LEMON CHICKEN
A quick and easy saute with the flavors of the Mediterranean in a light sauce. I like this served over basmati rice: the fragrant rice compliments the lemon and oregano and makes a nice meal. And the rice cooks in the time it takes to make this entree, so everything is ready at the same time. A note on the use of arrowroot instead of cornstarch: Arrowroot is a good thickener for an acidic liquid (Cornstarch loses potency in acids.) It is also a good choice if your sauce is mildly flavored. When you're looking for a high-gloss finish, use arrowroot.

Steps:
- Saute the chicken pieces in the butter and olive oil until golden.
- Add minced garlic and shallots.
- Add 1 cup chicken broth, oregano, lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic pepper.
- Stir, and as liquid is reduced, ballast with additional broth to prevent drying out. You may use the whole can--you should keep a good balance of liquid to the chicken pieces to form a sauce.
- Add arrowroot to a bit (about one tablespoon) of the broth, mix until dissolved and stir into the saute.
- Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and a glaze is formed.
- Remove from the stove and serve over basmati rice.
MEDITERRANEAN LEMON CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND ORZO
I like this pasta dish because it's different and tastes exotic. Doesn't take a long time to prepare. You could also add capers for an extra touch. If you don't have orzo on hand, bow tie pasta works too.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND LEMON SOUP
I made this without the red pepper simply because I didn't have any at hand. It was still very good and in fact I'm not sure I'll include it next time, also I'll half the amount of chicken next time. The lovely broth and rice are the stars of this soup. It's rich and lemony and a real treat to this lemon lover.
