Sweet yellow peppers and briny Kalamata olives combine to create a sweet and salty garnish for quick-cooking chicken breasts.

Prep/Cook Time: 40 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, rinsed, patted dry and flattened to ½-inch thickness (1-¼ to 1-½ pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons light balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, divided
  • 1 medium yellow sweet pepper, quartered
  • 1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch-thick slices
  • 16 pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons snipped fresh rosemary

Directions

  1. Lightly brush the chicken breast halves with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette and set aside.
  2. Coat a grill pan or grill rack with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Coat vegetables with cooking spray and cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side or until just tender and slightly charred. Place on cutting board to cool slightly.
  3. Cook chicken 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center.
  4. Meanwhile, chop the cooked vegetables and place in a medium bowl with the olives, rosemary and remaining 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Toss gently until well blended. Serve over chicken.
