Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or less)
3 -4 tablespoons hot pickled vegetables, found in the Italian aisle in the supermarket. (cauliflower, carrots, peppers,onions, drained from pickling juice)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Pound out chicken breasts, so that they cook quickly and evenly.
In saute pan, heat oil. Add giardiniera and garlic and saute lightly for 2-3 minutes.
Push giardiniera and garlic to the side of pan and add chicken.
Saute 2-3 minute per side, spooning pan juices and giardiniera over them.
DO NOT salt chicken. I made that mistake once. It was so salty, it became inedible. The giardiniera has plenty of salt on its own.
Plain, buttered pasta or a baked potato with cool sour cream are good sides for this spicy dish.
