    💭 Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this recipe.

    What do I use if I don't have a Mediterranean seasoning mix?

    Use a mixture of 1 teaspoon each dried oregano and dried basil, plus ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

    What is farro?

    Farro is a type of ancient grain that is often found in Mediterranean recipes such as soups and salads. It's a great source of fiber and high in protein.

    What can I use instead of farro?

    Couscous is a great option instead of farro. You can also substitue any kind of pasta like orzo, or even cauliflower rice if you're watching your carbs.

    ⭐ Tips

    ✔️ Save time by using shredded chicken, rotisserie chicken, or leftover cooked chicken you have on hand.

    ✔️ If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, substitute ½ teaspoon garlic powder.

    Our Mediterranean chicken bake is nutritious and delicious!

    🍲 Storage

    To Store: Leftover Mediterranean Chicken Casserole should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for 3-5 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)

    To Reheat: Microwave individual portions in 30 second intervals until heated throughout.

    To Freeze: Prepare the casserole without the olives and feta. Freeze for 3-4 months.

    To Thaw: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed.

    ✏️ Make Ahead

    This easy casserole can be prepared a day ahead of time.

    📖 Variations

    The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:

    • Add a small jar of artichoke hearts or sun-dried tomatoes or a can of white beans. (Be sure to drain first).
    • Use roasted red peppers instead of fresh peppers.
    • Replace farro with couscous, cauliflower rice, orzo pasta
    • Instead of boneless skinless chicken breasts, use skinless chicken thighs. To save time, you can also use our slow cooker pulled chicken.
    • For even more flavor, add fresh basil leaves, fresh thyme, or oregano leaves after baking.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    This is a fabulous all-in-one meal, but you could add a fresh green salad or even these Mediterranean Grilled Vegetables as a side dish. A loaf of crusty white bread or our rosemary focaccia bread are also great with this delicious meal.
