Who doesn’t love a solid chicken dish? This baked olive, artichoke and lemon chicken is layered with flavor. Browned and braised with briny olives and spices. I completed this meal with a quick but flavorful side of white wine sautéed mushrooms over rice. This is what happens when I improvise! Having staples in your pantry that are ready to go allow you to make masterpieces on the fly is crucial. Which is why I’m happy to continue to spread the word with Cans Get You Cooking.

You will always find cans of chicken stock, and tomatoes in my pantry. I also love to keep olives on hand for sauces and salads. The artichokes and mushrooms are great to marinate or add to a side dish. What are some of your pantry staples?
