Mediterranean Chicken with Olives and Grapes is an easy oven baked chicken dish that makes a warm and comforting main dish dinner that the whole family will love.
Put grapes and olives into a large oven proof casserole dish, at least a 9 by 13 inch pan. In a large skillet, saute the onions in the butter and olive oil until lightly browned.
Pour the onions and olive oil/ butter sauce over the grapes and olives. Sprinkle half of the spices and herbs over the grapes and olives.
Place the pan with olives and grapes in the oven. Begin cooking while you brown the chicken.
Season chicken with remaining salt, garlic, and pepper. Brown quickly over medium high heat on both sides. This should take maybe 2 to 3 minutes per side depending on how hot your pan is.
Transfer the chicken to the casserole pan placing over the olives and grapes. Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Top with additional mint and parsley before serving.
Notes
Family preference is to serve this with white rice like Basmati or Jasmine rice.
