Olive Chicken

This recipe is from Rachael Ray and originally included couscous, but that's not primal friendly so it's served over spinach instead.  Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb skinless, boneless, chicken breast, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 zucchini/squah, chopped (I did not feel 1 was enough so I did a few)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp fennel seeds (I omitted this, as I thought we did not have any until I found it a week later!)
Pinch ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
1 c olives, chopped (I used black, original called for green)       

 In a skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the olive oil over med-high heat.  Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, ~3-4 mins.  Add onion, zucchini, garlic, lemon peel, and spices.  Cook for ~5 mins then add olive and cook for 3 mins more.  Serve over spinach.

I made this last night but missed a few details - chopping the chicken and adding the olives with the zucchini. I used a mix of black and green olives, too. All in all, this was pretty awesome and something I will definitely make again.

I'm so glad you tried it and liked it Mike! What did Tiffany think? Glad to hear it was good with green olives - wish I had some on hand, but maybe next time.
