Lemon chicken with olives

This was my Dinner last Evening. It was great BUT next time I will add a teaspoon full of corn starch to the broth because I found the sauce very thin. It was really tasty though! I served it with Basmati rice.

prep time10 min, total time 55 min, serves 4

Ingredients:

8 skin-on chicken drumsticks (about 2 lbs/1 kg)

½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper

1 Tbsp (15 mL) olive oil

½ lemon, thinly sliced crosswise, seeds removed

20 large pitted green olives

1 tomato, chopped

6 clove garlic, peeled and halved

¾ cup (175 mL) sodium-reduced chicken broth

2 tsp (10 mL) fresh oregano, chopped

Directions:

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In large cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken all over in two batches, about 5 minutes.

Arrange and nestle lemon slices, olives, tomato and garlic in and around chicken. Pour in broth; bring to boil. Transfer pan to preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and bake until cooked through, about 40 minutes.

Sprinkle with oregano. No fresh oregano? Replace with chopped with parsley or chives instead.

Thanks Jennifer.

I made that for my boys about a week ago and they really liked it. It will be in my regular rotation now.
