Description By Rebekah Bears
Enjoy a taste of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with this savory chicken dish.

Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
1 jar green olives (In MO - 1 1/2 cups of olives, drained and pitted)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 medium bell pepper (I prefer it to be stripped)
1 medium white onion (I prefer it to be chopped)
2 TBSP crushed garlic
2 TBSP olive oil
1 cup milk or half and half
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Heat large sauce pan over medium heat with olive oil. Brown chicken breasts in olive oil for about five minutes. Add bell pepper, onion and garlic. After bell pepper and onion are soft, add tomatoes, green olives and milk or half and half.

p/s A tip: There are two other omissions–the original also calls for a garnish of chopped cilantro, plus lemon juice to taste. Both of those ingredients add a lot to this recipe, which is easy and quite delicious. (No amounts are specified for the lemon juice and cilantro).

    You can try with it, I guess some of the ingredients are pretty simple to be found. I just wonder what is the cilantro is, never heard before. Well, if without the olive, it's almost the same with typical recipe that we can cook at home.
