This dish sounds wonderful! IMHO. I'm planning to give it a try soon. This dish may be frozen for as long as 6 weeks. Freeze Chicken pieces individually with sauce. To reheat it, thaw. Then put a small amount of water in the bottom of the skillet, placing chicken inside. Cover and steam until heated through. From Food Everyday Issue 1.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons
2 medium onions, Chopped
4 garlic cloves, Chopped
1 cup olive, pitted and halved (recipe says green, I would use black)
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in large skillet, and quickly sear the chicken on both sides. Chicken should be golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Set aside.
  • Slice lemons thinly, and then cut slices in half.
  • If necessary, add the remaining oil to the pan. Fry the onion and garlic until soft, but not brown.
  • Add the lemons, olives, broth, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet on top of the veggies and sprinkle with thyme and red pepper.
  • Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked, about 15 minutes.
