Mediterranean Chicken Stir-Fry
One day per week our diet schedule contains chicken! So, the day before yesterday, and considering the fact that my time was so limited because I had to cook for dinner, plus I had to do the laundry, plus I had to go visit you my friends and see what’s new in your kitchens, plus, plus, plus a gazillion things, I had to improvise for a quick and easy chicken dish for dinner. So many things, so little time! I know it’s the story of your lives too!
And then it hit me! I could stir-fry the chicken, not? Yes, but not the usual Asian stir-fry, something closer to my area; med yes med for sure.
I marinated the chicken, while I was doing some of the things in my endless house work list and then I stir-fried it. And let me tell you how awesome this chicken was! Unbelievably tender, tangy and sweet at the same time. I accompanied it with Arabic little pitas, but I believe it would go perfectly with souvlaki pitas (I didn’t have any, can you believe it? Shame on me Greek in Greece and not having souvlaki pitas in my fridge, but hey I have teriyaki sauce, I have coconut milk, I have maple syrup and I have garam masala, but no pitas lol).
I am going to stop rambling now and I am going to do something useful in my life and give you the recipe. Very easy and very tasty.

This looks so simple yet so flavorful and delicious, Katerina. Definitely a must try!
Katerina! Your simple and flavoursome recipes never cease to delight ur readers
Love this dish!!
mmmmm endless housework, i know what that is! this look yummo
This looks delicious! With all the herbs that goes into it, must be really flavourful!
My mouth seriously watered when I looked at that chicken. That is one of the best-looking chicken dishes I have seen in a long time.
Nice blog. I have a recipe similar to this but with yogurt in the marinade. Yogurt is a great addition to a marinade as it has some pretty powerful compounds that tenderize chicken and lamb. I am glsd to have found your blog. Love the weight converter! Great information throughout this thoughtful blog. I will definately be back.
Stir-frying is a really quick way to get meals on to the table. Your Mediterranean Chicken Stir-fry looks gorgeous and delicious.
The title really intrigued me and what a nice surprise; Just looking at the ingredients; I know this is going to be a hit at our place.

Hi Katerina,
This is my first visit to your entertaining blog. Your simple Mediterranean stir-fry looks delicious, and I imagine that little bit of brown sugar makes a big difference in amplifying the flavors. Thanks!
Ωραίο δείχνει! Το κοτόπουλο είναι ιδανικό όταν δεν υπαρχει πολύ χρόνος!
Your stir fry looks wonderful! I just about always stir fry something when I want a good meal in a hurry.
This stir-fry looks delicious and easy. My favourite combination!
I love how this chicken turned out…amazing color and flavors…I am going to try this out since I have all the ingredients…
Thanks for sharing this simple and tasty recipe and have a great week Katerina
Katerina, your chicken stir-fry looks great and sounds like a quick meal indeed. I have chicken much much mre often than once a week! I am a big chicken fan, so I love discovering new ways to cook it or marinate it.
These look beautiful tender and juicy. Love the mellow flavours of the marinade. The pita bread looks perfect with them. Delicious!
It looks just perfect! About two weeks ago I started to use my stir-fry skillet again after I forgot all about it and it was hiding in the cupboard. Next time meat is on the menu, I’ll try this. Thanks Katerina! Have a great week!
Just like Tina,my family is fan of chicken more than any other meat. And i have tried Mediterranean as well.But never added brown sugar. I believe that has brought a nice golden color and a mild sweetness.
Hi Katerina,
This chicken looks so flavorful. Will try this easy and delicious recipe soon!
What a flavorful marinade Katerina! I love it served with the pita bread!
This looks & sounds delicious! Nice flavor combination!
Κατερίνα σε περιμένει βραβείο!!
That chicken sounds delicious. I haven’t had pita bread in ages, yours looks delicious.
Ohh that looks so good. And not too complicated for a quick weeknight meal, which I always need ideas for. I will have to try this soon!
Κατερίνα μου πολύ ωραιο το κοτόπουλο. Γεμάτο αρώματα.
Τα μυρωδικά που έχεις βάλει είναι πολύ ωραία.
Θα το δοκιμάσω σίγουρα να δω πως βγαινει.
Χρόνια πολλά και τα γενέθλια σου και του μικρου (λίγο καθυστερημένα).

J’aime beaucoup cette version du blanc de poulet.
La marinade le rend tendre et lui donne du goût.

Yes, my days can get bogged down where there is not much time for making dinner, so I am glad to pop in here and find this. We love Mediterranean cuisine, but a lot of the recipes do take some time. That chicken does look flavorful, thanks for sharing this one!
What a fabulous dish, Katerina! I’ve printed it off to try VERY soon…YUM!
PS…my sweet package arrived in the mail. Thank you!!!
That little bit of brown sugar in the marinate really helped them get a nice brown color and added to the taste I’m sure.
The chicken look so tasty! Even I drooled over the marinating picture
