Food Safety

Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps

  1. Sprinkle chicken with dried seasonings and rub in. Coat a large wide saucepan or Dutch oven with cooking spray or olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add chicken and fry until golden, 3 minutes each side. Move chicken to one side of pan and pour in ¼ cup (60 mL) water. Scrape up and stir in the brown bits from pan bottom.

  2. Stir in tomatoes and olives. Cover and simmer, turning occasionally, until juices are clear when chicken is pierced with a knife tip or meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C), about 10 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle with feta and chopped basil. Serve over couscous or rice.
