Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts

- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 lemon
- 50g pitted green olives
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 50g plain flour
- Large pinch dried oregano
- 1 clove garlic
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
Directions
- RINSE - Rinse the chicken breasts and pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut each breast in half lengthways and set aside.

Add the capers, olives and oregano and sprinkle with a little salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Turn the heat down low, cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the peppers sticking to the pan.
