4 fl oz         Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method Per Chef:
1.    Marinate the protein with grilling marinade and allow to sit for up to two hours under refrigeration.
2.    Season the chicken, season the grill grates as well.  Grill and ensure it is deep golden brown on each side, only flipping once if possible. 
3.    Use a digital thermometer to ensure it cooks to a minimum of 165 F.
4.    Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before service.
5.    Take a skillet, either on the stove top or over the grill, make sure the pan is hot before adding oil and garlic.
6.    Cook the garlic briefly, until just golden.
7.    Add the tomatoes and artichokes, sauté briefly. 
8.    Add the olives, remove the meat immediately add the spinach and cheese, to ensure it wilts and heats through.
9.    Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and any fresh herbs of your choice.
10.    Place the chicken on the plates and pour the mixture over the meat, serve at once.
