Ingredients

  • 4-6 medium to large red tomatoes
  • 2-3 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper diced
  • 6.5 oz jar artichoke hearts diced
  • 4-6 oz Greek pepperoncinis diced
  • 2/3 cup kalamata olives diced
  • 8 oz Feta cheese crumbles
  • For my Greek seasoning store bought is fine too:
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1 tsp tarragon
  • 1 tsp dried dill weed
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • For the dressing:
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 TBSP balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°
  • Grease a 13×9 baking dish and set aside.
  • First, make the dressing with the ingredients listed above. Whisk it to combine well.
  • Place your shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl. Season liberally with Greek seasoning and pour roughly 1/2 of the dressing over the chicken. Stir to coat chicken evenly. Set aside.
  • Next, cut the tops off of your tomatoes. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut around the inner edge of the tomatoes to loosen pulp from outer shell. Scoop out the pulp with a spoon, or use your hands. Place the pulp in a medium size bowl and save for later. Sprinkle the inside of your tomato shells with salt and invert on paper towels to drain.
  • Dice the rest of your vegetables into small pieces and add to mixing bowl with tomato pulp. Stir to combine.
  • Add the vegetable mixture to the chicken and stir to combine. Pour approximately 1/2 of remaining dressing over mixture and toss to coat.
  • Place tomatoes in prepared baking dish and fill with chicken and vegetable mixture. Any remaining mixture can simply be placed in the dish around the stuffed tomatoes.
  • Drizzle remaining dressing over entire dish.
  • Place baking dish in oven and cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes sprinkle feta cheese crumbles on top of tomatoes and the rest of the dish. Return to oven for another 5 minutes.

Notes

If you aren't using very many tomatoes and don't have much pulp in your vegetable mix, you can chop up a can of stewed tomatoes out use a can of diced tomatoes.
