The first recipe I would like to share is a take on Mediterranean Chicken. I thought about the colors and flavors that go into such a dish and this is what I came up with.
Ingredients:
1 ten to twelve ounce chicken breast sliced into cutlets and pounded
Two cloves garlic minced
6 large green olives sliced
1/2 onion sliced
2/3 cup cherry tomatoes
2 Tbls. capers
1 6.4 ounce serving chardonnay
1 Tbls. olive oil

Preparation:
In saute pan caramelize the onion over medium heat de-glazing with a small portion of the wine. In a separate pan saute the chicken cutlets in the olive oil then remove from the pan, add the garlic, olives, tomatoes, and wine, turn heat to high and cover until the tomatoes break open, remove the lid and mash the tomatoes. Reduce the sauce until thickened to you liking. Plate with the chicken on the bottom, covered with the caramelized onion, and topped with the sauce. This dish is best served with a steamed vegetable like beets, or broccoli.
