Lemony chicken is paired with a wonderfully flavorful tomato-based salad in this easy Mediterranean-inspired dinner. Another bonus: This entrée ready in under 25 minutes. Fresh grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, creamy feta, and refreshing mint are always a winning and well-loved flavor combination; it’s also delicious served with steak, fish, or shrimp. Named after a city in southern Greece, kalamata olives are large, dark purple olives with a smooth skin, meaty texture, and briny bite—a little can go a long way. Pair it with whole-wheat couscous or orzo for a complete, satisfying meal. Start the side first so that everything is hot and ready at the same time.
