Creamy Mediterranean Chicken





The girls are huge fan of anything creamy be it on desserts or savoury. Knowing that, it's not a surprise for them to love creamy Mediterranean chicken i served out for our Saturday night dinner. I love the crispy chicken skin and thanks to the searing. Creamy and with a hint of Mediterranean indeed a delicious one pot meal to serve on weekends or weekdays. I used black olives for the chicken, green olives works well too. Dip a chunk of bread to savour the rich broth for a satisfying meal.
