chicken with olives

[Guest guest]

Wasn't someone asking for a chicken with olives recipe on this board recently?

I can only see up to 2008 in the archives. Anyway I'm *fairly* certain someone

was asking for a recipe and this one was just posted on the pioneer woman's

website (**NOT** an SCD site!! I just like the photographs and sometimes she

makes stuff that I try to figure out how to modify). So here's her recipe,

slightly modified, with the original ingredients in parentheses:

" Ingredients

* 4 Tablespoons Butter

* 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil

* 6 pieces Chicken (She Used Thighs And Legs) With Skin

* 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced

* 5 cloves Garlic, Minced

* 2 whole Green Bell Peppers, Seeded And Chopped Into Large Pieces

* 1 whole 28 Ounce Can Whole Tomatoes, Completely Drained And Juice Squeezed

Out, Chopped (if you get the SCD legal canned tomatoes, fine...but I usually

just use fresh ones)

* 1 cup White Wine (or homemade Chicken Broth)

* Salt

* Freshly Ground Black Pepper

* ¼ cups Yogurt (originally Heavy Cream)

* 1 cup Whole Green Olives

* Spaghetti Squash or zucchini noodles (originally 12 oz pasta)

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large ovenproof skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add chicken and brown on both sides. Remove chicken to a clean plate.

Reduce heat to medium. Add onions, garlic, and green bell pepper to the pan.

Stir and cook for a couple of minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for a minute or

two. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in wine and stir. Add chicken pieces back

to pan, cover with lid, and place into the oven for 45 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and remove lid. Add whole green olives and yogurt (drizzle

evenly over the top.) Put on lid and shake the pan to " stir " in the cream.

Return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes to thicken the sauce. Remove from oven

and keep lid on until ready to serve.

Place noodles (zucchini or s.squash) into a large serving bowl or onto a large

serving platter. Arrange chicken pieces on top of the noodles, then pour all of

the sauce over the top. Can sprinkle with minced fresh parsley and Parmesan, if

desired.
