- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. dried dill weed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
Cheese Spread for Tostadas
- 3 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbles, room temperature
Topping Mixture for Tostadas
- Bag of yellow corn tortillas, crunchy kind
- About 16 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup sweet onion (purple), diced
- 1/2 cup marinated artichokes, chopped (You will find these in a jar down the canned vegetable aisle)
- 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
Before you start making this recipe make sure to set-out the cream cheese and feta cheese, so that they can come to room temperature.
In a small bowl combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and dill weed, whisk together.
Cut the chicken breast tenderloin pieces into 1β³ chunks and place in a covered dish. Sprinkle the chicken chunks with sea salt and black pepper. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken pieces and mix all together, making sure to coat all of the pieces of chicken.
Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator to marinate a few hours or even over-night.
When the chicken is done marinating, discard the marinade and put it in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and cook it until the chicken is no longer pink and it has a bit of golden color to it.
In a medium to large bowl combine the chopped artichokes, dill weed, chopped artichoke pieces, diced onion and chopped tomatoes, add a drop or two of olive oil and stir everything together.
Now, take the feta cheese and put it in a food processor or a mini food chopper and pulse until you get small crumbs. If you want you can add in the cream cheese and blend until it is creamy.
I dumped the feta cheese crumbs into a bowl, added the cream cheese and blended it together with a spoon.
To assemble, place a corn tortilla on a plate and take a bit of the feta cheese mixture and spread it in the middle of the tostada.
Add some of the cooked chicken pieces and then top with some of the topping mixture (tomato, kalamata olives and artichokes). If you want to you can also top it with the remaining feta cheese.
