Here is a quick fix meal for your favorite FODMAPer. This lemon, olive and thyme infused chicken dish requires little prep and is full of flavor!
This recipe requires simply slicing a lemon, adding pitted Kalamata and green olives, and chopping up some sprigs of fresh thyme. (well, maybe a few more minor steps…but really not much more!) I used thin boneless skinless chicken cutlets that I generously sprinkled with ground red and black peppercorns and a little sea salt.
Everything is added to one casserole dish and baked. I added a little fresh thyme after cooking as it adds a pop of color and flavor. Easy. Peasy. And really, company worthy!
I hope you are gearing up for a fun weekend. I took some time off to spend some one on one time with my daughter, Chelsea. We have been enjoying being together, walking the Maine coast and organizing our little cottage. It’s been so good to take some me time.
We love the restaurant, earth in Kennebunk. You feel transported to another space and time. So peaceful and relaxing…and the food… amazing. We shared an amazing lobster dish with sticky rice. Earth also features beautiful grounds and a fire pit. Perfection.
