Mediterranean Chicken
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Pinch of cayenne
- 2 tablespoons California extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 large chicken breast cutlets, pounded or thinly sliced
- Juice of half a lemon, plus four slices of lemon
- 2 large cloves garlic, sliced
- 1/3 cup sliced kalamata olives, pitted
- 1/3 cup green olives (we use some marinated in herbs de Provence), pitted
- 3 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons butter
- Combine the flour and cayenne in a shallow bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet on medium flame until hot.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
- Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
- Turn the chicken over, add the lemon juice, lemon slices, garlic, olives, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the parsley, and the salt and pepper.
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally and stirring the olive mixture gently to avoid burning the garlic.
- Add the butter to the pan, shaking to combine the sauce.
- Place the chicken breasts on a serving plate, then pour the olive mixture over the top.
- Garnish with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of the fresh parsley.
