Directions:Pound each piece of chicken lightly between two sheets of plastic wrap. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Beat the egg with the water in a shallow dish. Coat the chicken on both sides with flour. Dip them into the egg mixture until well coated on both sides. Heat the oil and 1 T butter in one or two large skillets. If necessary, increase the oil and butter amounts slightly. Add the chicken and cook over high heat about 1 minute. Turn and cook for 1 minute, or until cooked through. As the pieces are cooked, transfer to a warm platter. Rinse and dry the skillet. To the clean skillet, add the remaining 6 T butter. Add the pepper strips, olives, garlic and onion. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook, tossing and stirring, until the peppers are crisp tender. Add the tomatoes and cook about 1 minute. Add the oregano and vinegar and cook over high heat about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley. |
