Packed full of savory flavor, thanks to mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes, Mediterranean Chicken, from Billiam’s Cafe and Catering, is one of their most popular recipes. To develop his keto-centric menus, founder Bill Myers uses a mix of original creations, family recipes and inspiration from his wife, Laura.
Mediterranean Chicken
Yield: 6 servings
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 jars of marinated artichoke hearts, drained
2 cups of frozen chopped spinach, thawed, excess water squeezed out
16 ounces Baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
1 large yellow or white onion, medium dice
3 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons butter
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
Instructions
- Salt and pepper chicken breasts, and pan saute in a lightly oiled pan over medium high heat. Once chicken is cooked, remove from pan and set aside to rest.
- Add butter to the pan. Add diced onions and mushrooms, and saute until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- After the chicken has rested, chop into one-inch cubes. Combine chicken, mushrooms, onions, artichoke hearts, spinach and Parmesan cheese into a mixing bowl, and mix well by hand. Place mixture into a 13-by-9-inch pan, and bake covered at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
- Top with goat cheese and julienned sun-dried tomatoes. Serve immediately!
About Billiam’s Cafe and Catering
It wasn’t 25 years of restaurant experience that convinced Bill Myers to start a catering business.
“I was working with my wife, and she got tired of me. She told me, ‘You need to figure out what you want to do that’s not working with me everyday.’ And so I started this,” Myers said with a chuckle.
Myers, a Holly Springs resident, started Billiam’s Cafe and Catering four years ago, specializing in corporate catering, meal delivery and ketogenic recipes.
“I make fully prepared meals, dropped off at your home to pop in the oven or microwave to just reheat and eat,” he said. “I do a whole lot of Keto meals, and almost all of my food is gluten-free.”
A year-round vendor at the Holly Springs Farmers Market, Billiam’s Cafe regularly sells out of their bi-weekly offerings: homemade chicken salad, Italian chopped salad and turkey and brie croissant sandwiches.
“Food brings people happiness. I like making people happy,” Myers said.
