My Recipe Book: A Taste of Healthy Italian – Chicken in Olives

Good day readers!! It’s my pleasure to share with you one of our favorite dishes which is not only easy to cook but healthy as well.

Ingredients: 

½ kilo chicken (breast meat; skin peeled off is the best)

¾ cup olive Oil

1/2 tsp. rosemary

1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

1/4 cup black olives

1/4 cup green olives

2 pcs. peeled tomatoes (seeds taken off)

1 big white onion cut into 4

salt and pepper to taste

**optional add-ons for side dish

     1 peeled carrot (cut into small portions)

     1 cucumber (cut into small portions)

Procedure:

1.       Pour olive oil in the pan with chicken, rosemary, Italian seasoning, black and green olives and cook in medium heat for 15 mins. or until the chicken is tender. (I noticed that olive oil cooks better than the regular cooking oil so expect the chicken to be tender in lesser time.)

2.       Add in the tomatoes, onion, salt and pepper for about 5 mins.

3.       Add in the side dish – carrot and cucumber and cook for 5 mins. (We like the other ingredients to be half-cooked only so we put them in last.)

… and that’s it!! We usually eat this with a few slices of wheat bread along-side.

Enjoy and bon appétit!!
