Mediterranean Chicken {whole 30 | under 30 minutes}
Happy Friday!! I feel like this post has been awhile in the making. It’s no secret that I love cooking. When I did Whole 30 a few years ago, it reminded me how I much I loved it and how much I loved coming up with my own healthy creations.
I have been wanting to share recipes here on the blog for over a year, but I always stopped myself because it’s kinda scary. Also when I’m creating things in the kitchen, I often don’t pay attention to what I’m tossing in the pan.
I’m hoping to try and bring you more recipes that fit in with my healthy eating lifestyle. If you try this recipe out, I would love your feedback so I can learn to write easy to follow recipes!
This Mediterranean Chicken recipe is one I came up with years ago when doing Whole 30. I was trying to find meals that included healthy fats like olives and avocados. I also wanted quick and easy recipes that I could put together in 30 minutes or less, use for meal prep, and freeze.
I start with thin sliced chicken breasts (although you can use regular chicken breasts too, just bake longer) lightly seasoned and baked, and then topped with a mix of roasted red peppers, green olives, and fresh basil.
Occasionally, I will roast my own red bell peppers in the oven with a little olive oil. To make this recipe even easier, I buy the deli-sliced roasted red bell peppers, so it’s as easy as just opening a jar. Just make sure the ingredients are Whole 30 approved!
I hope you enjoy my first recipe, and I look forward to sharing many more with you!

April Reader Favorites
Hello Ladies and Happy May! I get so excited for this month every year! It’s filled with so many birthdays of family of friends, the start of summer and pool season, and our last month to spend outdoors before that Texas HEAT arrives. I have so many fun outfit posts coming for you in May, but first let’s talk about your April favorites!
We definitely have a theme going on of feminine details and whites and neutrals. We also have TWO repeats from last month. Keep scrolling to see if your favorite item made April’s Top 5 Reader Favorites!
A reminder on how I figure out which items ya’ll loved –
I use an affiliate program called Rewardstyle. If you click on a link from my blog or social media that takes you to a product page on a retailer’s site, Rewardstyle is able to track that your visit to that site originated from me. The Rewardstyle affiliate program pays me a commission per purchase made. Basically, if you click on one of my links and end up making a purchase, I earn a small commission.
Because I use this service I also have access to certain data analytics. This means I can see and keep track of which items are clicked on and which lead to a purchase. I do not see who clicked on the link or what items might have been purchased. For example, if you click on my latest pair of heels and then purchase a new red lipstick too, I will only be able to see that a purchase was made and that the heels link is how you arrived to the retailer’s site. It’s kind of similar to how a salesperson may earn commission in the store.
I’m a numbers gal, so I love diving into all the data every month. These analytics allow me to keep track of what ya’ll loved and didn’t so much love. If I see one item is clicked on and/or purchased more, I might consider sharing a restyle over on Instagram. These commissions are an easy way for you to support my blog without having to do anything extra and a way for me to cover the variety of expenses that come with running a blog. So if you have ever made a purchase through one of my links know that I am so grateful for you and your support of my blog.
Now on to your April favorites!
