Italian Chicken and Green Olives
Recipes » Main Dish » Poultry - Chicken
This recipe will make you look so good! The red and yellow peppers with the green olives, in the rich creamy sauce, makes a beautiful presentation! I served it for company just the other night and my guests said, "you missed your calling in life, you should have your own restaurant." (It was really good) This recipe is #1 on my "company's coming" recipe list!
"This is a great recipe! My roommate does not like sauces made with milk or cream though, so I adapted this one by making a roux of 2 T. butter and 2 T. flour before adding the wine. I whisked the wine in to make a smooth sauce. After adding the remaining 1 T. butter, it was a little thick so I thinned it with chicken stock. Just wonderful!"

I thought the whole dish came together very nicely. There were so many vegetables even though I only went with 2 green peppers, and 1 each of yellow, orange and red. I have some vegetarian friends, so split this up and had some without the chicken. I expect I will get some big raves!!

I will try this again, now that I have all the instructions. This was posted twice and some of the instructions were missing from the other copy. I may omit the olives though, and will definately thicken the sauce with a bit of cornstarch.
