Sicilian Olive Chicken


Makes: 4 servings
Time: 20 minutes
Calories: about 210
Ingredients:
  1 14-oz can petite diced tomatoes (optional: flavored with garlic or other seasonings)
  1.5 cups frozen chopped spinach (we used fresh spinach, guesstimating an amount that looked good)
  1/3 cup halved Sicillian or other green olives (we used black olives, more than 1/3 cup!)
  1 Tbs capers (...we didn't use this)
  1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, or to taste
  4 4-oz chicken cutlets (we cut two massive chicken breasts in half)
  1/4 tsp ground pepper
  1 Tbs EVOO
Directions:
1) Combine tomatoes, spinach, oives, capers, and crushed red pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with pepper.
2) Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned on one side (2-4 minutes). Turn over; top with tomato mixture. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking until cooked through (3-5 minutes, or until white).

This recipe was ridiculously easy, not to mention you can have some creativity with it! Fima and I definitely did something similar to this in college with tomato, spinach, mushrooms, and a meat. It would be delicious to serve with pasta as well! It was surprisingly flavorful with just the few ingredients it called for.
