Yummy recipes

Greek style chicken
I use less water than the recipe calls for because it gets a little soupy.

1 pound chicken breast tenders
1 tsp olive oil
1 medium green bell pepper cut into 1 inch strips
2 medium shallots
1 14.5 ounce can if diced tomatoes unsalted
1/4 cup low salt chicken broth
1/4 cup kalamata olives coarsely chopped
1 tsp oregano dried
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directiins: Discard all fat from chicken. In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Cook chicken for 2 minutes on each side. Stir in peppers and shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.

Apple pear walnut salad
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
1 orange zested
1/2 cup raisins (I use golden raisins)
4 apples
2 pears
2/3 cup toasted walnuts coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Directiins: In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, orange juice, zest and raisins. Core and cut apples and pears into chunks. Add fruit and nuts to the bowl. Add oil and toss. Season with pepper and salt. Refrigerate for an hour.
