Mediterranean Chicken Breasts with Spiralized Vegetables

I am especially excited to share today’s recipe with you, made by my lovely friend Gina from Skinnytaste. Chances are, you already know about Gina – she’s a major food blogger who I’ve looked up to from the very beginning of my food blogging career.

True story: the first recipe I ever made off the internet was from Gina’s blog! Needless to say, I’ve been a fan of hers since the very, very beginning and now, we’re friends and I’m so happy to have her on the blog today.

Gina and I have the same publisher and we both live in the NYC area, so I’ve gotten to know her over the years – and she’s absolutely lovely. She’s one of those genuinely kind people that’s like a breath of fresh air and truly humble (when she has LOTS to brag about!)

She’s made a colorful, healthy dish for today – and if you didn’t now about Gina’s Skinnytaste, now you do!

From Gina:

Chicken, Feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, oregano and lemon – this low-carb chicken dish is quick, keto-friendly, gluten-free and SO good! Inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean. You can easily make this dairy-free by omitting the cheese.

I’m also a New York Times Best Selling author to The Skinnytaste Cookbook and Skinnytaste Fast and Slow. Ali and I have the same publisher, so we’ve really gotten to know each other these past few years and I truly consider her a great friend and have mad respect for her! I’m thrilled to be writing a guest post here on her blog while she’s spending quality time with her newborn son (gosh, I’ve been there and know how truly wonderful yet challenging those first few months can be).
