Mediterranean cuisine is one of the healthiest lifestyle diets available as there is a good balance of seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs, pasta, rice, legumes, fish, poultry and a variety of meats depending on the various regions. However, the other main element of this cuisine is the all important extra virgin olive oil. The people of these regions use olive oil in almost everything they eat, whether it is incorporated into their cooking or used as a dressing, it features in most of their meals. As the oil is pressed straight from the olive fruit, the flavour of the fruit, aroma, vitamins and other properties are kept in the oil. The following grilled chicken recipe is quick and easy to prepare, utilises some wonderful Mediterranean flavours and is healthy to boot! Whether this grilled chicken recipe is cooked on your indoor grill, griddle pan or outside on your barbecue grill, it is equally as delicious.
