When I hear Mediterranean cuisine I think of Italy and Greece. Every country has a few ingredients that sets them apart from the rest. The Italians and the Greeks in my opinion have the olive market under control. In the area of Athens in which I am staying every Monday there are street venders only 5-blocks away that have a huge array of fresh produce. There is also a vendor that has a diverse selection of olives, so many I have never seen or even heard of before. I am thinking a personal olive tour would be sufficient. Even capers were available fresh instead of in a jar, which is how I am typically forced to buy them in the states.
This recipe of Mediterranean Chicken Breast I did not get from the Greeks, or any other Mediterranean country for that matter. It was a taste I had sitting on my tongue from the variety of foods I have tasted in Greece and Italy. The recipe is rather simplistic and very diverse that it can be used over fish or is superb over pasta. I hope you enjoy it and give me some feedback after you make it.
