Lemon Chicken with Olives

Prep Time:  10 minutes       Start to Finish:  20 minutes

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb)
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt-free lemon-and-pepper seasoning (I used Mrs. Dash's.)
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
4 thin slices lemon

1  Set oven control to broil.  Spray broiler pan rack with cooking spray.  Starting at thickest edge of each chicken breast, cut horizontally almost to opposite side.  Open cut chicken breast so it's an even thickness.

2  In small bowl, mix oil and lemon juice.  Drizzle over both sides of chicken breasts.  Sprinkle both sides with lemon-and-pepper seasoning.  Place on rack in broiler pan.

3  Broil with tops 4 inches from heat about 10 minutes, turning once and topping with olives and lemon slices during last 2 minutes of broiling, until chicken is no longer pink in center.



*This is great served over long-grain rice.  Try adding any green or orange vegetable (green beans and carrots) or a tasty vegetable salad.
