Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil or other Italian-style seasonings

  • 1 ½ cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed

  • ⅓ cup halved Sicilian or other green olives

  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste

  • 4 (4 ounce) chicken cutlets (see Tip)

  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Combine tomatoes, spinach, olives, capers and crushed red pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn it over; top with the tomato mixture. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Recipe Tips & Notes:

Tip: If you can't find chicken cutlets for this recipe, you can make your own. Purchase four 5-ounce chicken breasts. Remove the tenders and trim the fat. Place the chicken between pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a rolling pin, meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to about 1/2 inch thick.
