Season with salt and pepper and transfer to the baking dish with the eggplant.

MEDITERRANEAN GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS AND EGGPLANT

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the olive oil, sumac, salt, granulated garlic, pepper and lemon zest and juice in a large shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs and mix to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• For the eggplant and naan: Use a paring knife to make crosshatch marks on the flesh side of each eggplant half. Drizzle both sides of the eggplant with oil and sprinkle with sumac, salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill for cooking over direct and indirect medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill, flipping once, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
• Meanwhile, grill the eggplant, starting flesh-side down, for 5 minutes. Flip and cook 5 minutes more, then move to indirect heat to cook until tender, an 5 additional minutes.
• Turn one of the burners to high heat. Lightly brush both sides of naan bread with olive oil and grill over high heat, flipping frequently, until slightly charred and warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes total.
• For the yogurt tahini sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, tahini, parsley, honey, olive oil, cumin and lemon juice in a bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange chicken and eggplant on a platter. Drizzle with honey and olive oil. Top with fresh mint and parsley leaves. Serve with yogurt tahini sauce and grilled naan bread on the side.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring water to boil for pasta, then follow package instructions and check for doneness (since recipes always take me a little longer than the stated time, I don't usually start cooking the pasta at the very beginning!).
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
• Chop onions coarsely and add to pot.
• Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and add to pot.
• Raise heat to med-high.
• Cook until chicken is not pink on the outside (about 3 minutes).
• Add garlic, oregano, and basil and continue cooking chicken. Stir frequently.
• When chicken is cooked through, stir in wine and cook 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes with juice and continue cooking a few minutes until it becomes less juicy.
• Stir in feta cheese and kalamata olives.
• Garnish with parsley.
• Serve over hot drained orzo -- sometimes I mix it all together.
