Greek Chicken Skillet

 

Greek Chicken Skillet

(4 servings)

 

Ingredients:

2 medium Lemons

2 tbsp. Jalapeno Pepper, sliced fresh or pickled, drained

1 tbsp. Olive Oil

2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced

1 tsp. Dry Dill Weed

4 pieces (4 oz.) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

1 can (14 oz.) Chicken Broth

1 tbsp. Unsalted Butter

¾ cup Orzo Pasta

1 pkg. (9 oz.) Fresh Brussels Sprouts, sliced

¼ cup Green Olives, pitted and halved

¼ cup Feta Cheese, crumbled

Directions:

Zest and juice one lemon and thinly slice remaining lemon.  In a large skillet, add all the lemon, jalapeno, olive oil, garlic, dill, chicken, chicken broth, butter and bring to a boil.  Now add the orzo, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.  Add Brussels Sprouts and olives, cover and simmer 5 more minutes or until orzo is tender and chicken is done.  Serve immediately.

Notes:              You can combine the first 5 ingredients, minus the sliced lemon in a zip-lock gallon bag.  Then add the chicken and sliced lemon to marinate for 30 minutes before cooking.  This will help get the flavor into the chicken a little better.  Than just continue with the directions.
