Notes

Store this Mediterranean Chicken dish in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat you can microwave the chicken or you can slowly warm in the oven. This dish can be salty due to the fact that you are using olives, artichoke hearts and capers. If you are watching your salt I suggest cutting the ingredients in half or making picking one or two of those ingredients to use instead of all three.
