Green Olive and Lemon Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 6 fillets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lemons - (quartered)
- 1 cup pitted green olives - (drained)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 large onion - (chopped)
- 5 cloves of garlic - (minced)
- 2 cups fat free chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large, skillet over medium high heat. When pan is hot add olive oil.
- Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Place in pan, and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove chicken and set aside. Add onions and garlic to the pan, and sauté, stirring often, until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add splashes of the chicken stock as needed to keep the onions from sticking to the pan.
- Now add in the lemon, olives, paprika, cumin, and remaining stock. Bring to a boil, and let simmer about 10 minutes.
- Add in the chicken, turn the heat to medium low, cover, and let cook until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
