Generally, the quantities in the recipes in Kitchen Express are designed for three or four people. But the specifications are loose enough so that it won't take much to tweak them for fewer or more servings to make a meal more substantial, or plan ahead for leftovers.

Braised Chicken with Olives and Raisins

Prevent your screen from going dark


Instructions

In a food processor, combine about a quarter cup of olive oil, a tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano, a handful of raisins, a handful of pitted green olives, a quarter cup of dry white wine, and a pinch or two of salt; pulse a couple of times—you want large pieces, not a paste. Sear chicken cutlets in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, about two minutes on each side. Lower the heat, add the olive-raisin sauce, then cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with chopped parsley or toasted pine nuts.
