Ingredients

  • 12 pitted kalamata olives
  • 14 cup olive oil (or less)
  • 1 cup roasted red pepper
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 14 cup red wine (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 4 chicken breasts

Method

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Grill - time will vary according to your grill.
  • The recipe will work with ANY cooked chicken.
  • Prepare the sauce while the chicken cooks.
  • Roughly chop the olives.
  • Coarsely chop the peppers.
  • Mince the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Add the olives, peppers, tomato puree, red wine, and capers.
  • Cook until the sauce begins to bubble and thicken, about 5 minutes.
  • You will need to stir the sauce to keep it from sticking.
  • Taste the sauce and add salt and or pepper if needed.
  • It will depend on how salty the olives and peppers were.
  • When the sauce is done, pour over cooked chicken.
  • We slice the chicken into long strips and fan the strips over rice.
  • Then we pour the sauce over the chicken.
  • It plates up well.
  • I tend to serve it with the rest of the red wine that didn't get enjoyed during cooking.
  • A green veggie or salad completes the meal.
