Mediterranean Chicken Casserole Ingredients:
Balsamic Chicken – You can use chicken breast or chicken thighs. Thighs are a little bit richer and juicier, but breast is a little bit healthier and leaner. Artichoke Hearts – Use canned or jarred. Artichokes are rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Red Onion Cherry Tomatoes White Beans – Drain and rinse if using canned beans. Cashews – Use whole salted cashews. You could substitute for unsalted to reduce sodium. Chicken Broth – Try my homemade chicken broth recipe, or use your favorite store-bought brand. Mozzarella – The Mozzarella adds the perfect level of creamy, cheesy goodness in moderation. Oregano – Chop up fresh sprigs of Oregano.
