Recipe - Chicken with Broccoli Rabe and Apple

I have chicken out and wanted to make something a little different for dinner tonight - I remembered a good recipe that I made earlier in the spring when I was trying to expand my veggie horizon beyond green beans, carrots and peas. :)

Chicken with Broccoli Rabe and Apple
(WW Turnaround Program Cookbook)
Serves 4
1 1/3 cup serving = 237 cal / 7g fat / 4g fiber / 456 mg sodium / 27g protein

Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb chicken tenders
1 bunch broccoli rabe, cleaned and chopped
1 McIntosh apple, diced
2 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
8 pitted brine-cured kalamata olives, chopped

Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a nonstick Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until golden (7-10 minutes.)

2. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned (3 minutes.)

3. Add the broccoli and the water that clings to it, the apple, bouillon granules, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil.

4. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender (8 minutes.)

5. Stir in the olives and serve at once.

(Neither Chris nor myself like olives, so I omitted that portion of the recipe.)

The recipe calls for broccoli rabe, but I just had florets. It seems to substitute just fine. I did add a few tablespoons of water to give the granules a little more liquid to dissolve into.

Enjoy!
