Mediterranean Chicken Bake

Often I get inspirations of looking at pictures of food. Last week I saw on a website a lovely looking dish I didn't know what was in it, as there was no recipe but just the visual gave me the idea to make this dish.

As you know I love my mamas pork in the oven, so the basis of this recipe is from that, but decided to give it a lighter twist with the addition of chicken and jazz it up with some Mediterranean flavours!

As for the dish itself, I made this on Monday thinking I could get a few lunches and dinners out of it. But in usual Lulabella style I gave it to my sister and her husband for their dinner!
