Mediterranean Chicken With Artichokes, Peppers, and Olives

A Heart-Healthy Entrée Recipe

• 4 ounces chicken breast, cubed or sliced
• 4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• Black pepper to taste
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 roasted red peppers, from a jar, cut into strips
• 20 medium black olives
• One 6-ounce jar of marinated artichokes, kept in liquid
• 8 oz. cooked short pasta such as ziti

Roll the chicken cubes in flour to coat, and sprinkle with pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes; do not allow to brown. Add the chicken and cook for about 4 minutes, turning until lightly browned on all sides. Add the peppers and olives and heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the artichokes with liquid and cook until heated through, 3 minutes more. Serve over short pasta.
