Ingredients

  • 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

Method

  • 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.
