Notes
You can use any type of potatoes in this recipe. I like to use red potatoes, but you can use gold, white, or sweet potatoes. Just make sure to cut them into small cubes so they cook quickly. You can also use any type of bell peppers that you like. I like to use one red and one yellow pepper for color, but you can also use green, orange, or purple peppers. If you don’t like olives, you can leave them out. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, squash, or mushrooms.

Recipe Tips
This Mediterranean chicken is a great meal to make ahead and freeze for later. Just assemble the ingredients in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. To cook, just thaw the container in the refrigerator overnight and then follow the instructions for cooking. If you want to add some extra flavor, you can also add some fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the finished dish for extra flavor. This dish is also great served with a side of couscous or quinoa for a complete meal. You can also serve it over a bed of fresh greens for a light and healthy dinner.
