Mediterranean Chicken Dinner

I've been trying to eat healthier, and my husband has signed on to be my personal chef. I couldn't more thrilled. One night, he made me this Mediterranean influenced dinner and it was delicious. All of the flavors just blended well together. The chicken was so tender. Most importantly, when it's hot out.. this was super light. 

I hope ya'll enjoy!
