Greek Garlic Lime Chicken

This is an old favorite.I stumbled across this recipe in the "escrow selling" days at the beginning of my sales career.  I used to work with a girl that loved to cook as well, and we frequently exchanged recipes.  This one is pretty easy and light, so I will throw it in the rotation again.  My husband hates chicken and Greek olives...so I will save this for company, or on those nights when it's just me.  :)


Greek Garlic Lime Chicken
Cooking spray
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
dash salt
dash pepper
1/2 cup pitted and sliced Greek olives (kalamata)

Heat a Teflon pan on medium high heat with cooking spray.  Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken.  Cook on both sides, about 30 seconds to seal in flavor.  Remove chicken from pan and transfer to casserole dish or roasting pan.

Combine onion, garlic, lime juice, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, and oregano in pan.  Toss chicken with sauce to coat.  Arrange olives over chicken, and roast for 30-35 minutes until done and juices run clear.  Of course I threw it in with some mashed potatoes.  I used red potatoes, sour cream, and a little milk.  These potatoes were way better than any other ones I make...I think I am getting off the "Russet bus."
