I just love the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. It is totally my jam. Do you like Mediterranean cuisine?

What is your favorite dish? If you ask me, I have so many that I simply would not be able to count on my fingers.

It is just so light and delicious that I could possibly eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Mediterranean Sumac Chicken

It’s one of those cuisines that you can eat all year round, simply like this Mediterranean Sumac Chicken. It is pretty amazing when you have guests over or when you are busy and need something quick to eat.

Also, think of a NEW YEAR party, summer grilling season. As you can see it’s just amazingly adaptable to each season and almost any occasion.

Not to mention how easy it is to prepare it.  It took me 30 minutes from beginning to finish. I’ve been dying to make sumac chicken sprinkled with Za’atar for a while now.

That being said, look how lucky I was that my friend had extra that she brought from her last overseas trip?!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Rest Time 5 minutes
Total Time 33 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Chicken Tenders about 2 lbs
  • 1/2 tbsp. Sumac
  • 1/2 tbsp. Allspice
  • 1 tsp. Dried Parsley
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Lemon Juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1/2 pound of Mushrooms sliced + Drizzle of olive oil + squeeze of lemon juice + pinch of salt

Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 English Cucumber diced (read notes)
  • 2 tsp. Garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Parsley chopped (or Cilantro)
  • 1 tablespoon Dill chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
  • Pinch of Salt or to taste
  • Pinch of Ground Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place chicken tenders into a large dish, then add all the spices, lemon juice, and 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Rub on each chicken tender to coat well, then leave it on the countertop for 10 minutes to marinade.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or frying pan (about 10" size skillet or smaller). Add 1 tablespoon of Olive oil and heat on medium-high temperature.
  4. Add chicken, and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. If the skillet is smaller, cook in batches.
  5. Place cooked chicken on kitchen paper towel and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Slice mushrooms, and add them in the same skillet that you cook chicken. Cook mushrooms with a drizzle of olive oil for 5 minutes on medium-high heat, and season it with salt and add just a generous squeeze of lemon juice.
  7. Heat pita bread for a minute in the microwave, and serve with sauteed mushrooms, Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce, Calamata Olives, and Za'atar.
  8. Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce: Dice and chop all the ingredients. Mix it with the yogurt very well, and serve with chicken.

Notes

You can place Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce in the food processor and make it smoother in texture if you like that way better. I like biting into cucumber so that's why I left it chunky. If you do not like mushrooms, please omit.

Tuna Salad Wraps

Tuna Salad Wraps

Tuna Salad Wrap Recipe

Simple, delicious, and easy tuna salad. The best thing about salads like this is that you can actually add what you like or have on hand, for example, instead of celery you may add bell peppers or instead of scallions perhaps red onions.

It really does not make a huge difference, but this one was a winner. Just in case if you do not eat Mayo, you can totally eat it without it.

Actually, my boys are not mayonnaise lovers at all. For two of them, I use buffalo-ranch or similar. That’s why I always prep two different tuna salad.

Tuna Salad Wraps Recipe

Usually, I’d add boiled eggs and some healthy fats, like sunflower seeds and avocado. With that being said, this one is a favorite of mine, as well as my daughters’.

Recipe Notes

Add avocado only if you’re going to eat tuna salad right away. It’s an amazing mayonnaise replacement, and it does give a really delicious flavor. Sunflower seeds or even pumpkin seeds are fantastic for that extra crunch. Boiled egg – If you don’t like or eat eggs, don’t worry, it tastes fantastic without it, too. But my family and I add it often in this kind of salads, and we love it. I wrote as an add-on because I know that some of you avoid eggs. If you DO NOT eat tuna, you can replace it with grilled or roasted chicken

Spicy Tuna Salad

When I looked through my kitchen window this morning as coffee was dripping down in my mug, I thought it’s going to rain.

Gray clouds surrender the sky and it was rather dark but pretty enjoyable to just sit and look at the birds flying around and making beautiful noises.

I usually go outside with my cup of Joe and it was a comfortable and very peaceful morning, even with only a few hours of sleep that I had.

Click here for my tasty sandwich ideas.

The smell and taste of coffee and morning crisp air always wake me up and give me that feeling of calmness; I connect with my thoughts, plan my day, go over the schedule and write down some things that are on my mind.

I love to write even though I am not very good at it, but I try. It is almost the same as if you give me a microphone and I start to sing! Then the sun just came out…out of nowhere! Le sigh! I wanted rain!!!

Spicy Tuna Salad

It was kind of day made for rain. If you didn’t notice before I really love rainy days! I love just to listen and relax while it’s pouring outside, Yiruma radio on Pandora is usually in the background, a book in my hands, and of course, coffee or a cup of tea is right next to me. I would say that is my perfect morning or evening.

When I have a really crazy busy day I make this Tuna salad. It is a quick fix, and my kiddos like it, at least my oldest two.

Do I really call it a recipe? Well, nah! But, today, I will call it “the crazy easy short-cut meal”…we all do it, right? Precooked chicken? Takeouts? Leftovers?

Whatever saves me, time man, I am all over it! From time to time I add some cooked beans to it… a very good combo with tuna.

What is your #1 short-cut meal? I would really love to know…
