I originally scaled this back for 2 but due to a change of plans only made for one the DM and proceeded as such but erred when it came to the sauce and made it up for 2 and only realized as I poured it over the chicken so I had an excess of sauce but that was fine as it was great mopped up with some bread. My boneless skinless chicken breast half weighed 250 grams and the cooking time was perfect at 175C fan forced and I was left with cooked but moist chicken. The DM declared herself not to be very hungry so just told her to eat what she could and only expected her to eat half but she ate the lot and declared it delicious, thank you Baby Kato for an easy quick recipe, made for ZAAR Stars tag game.

What a great dinner we had tonight -- this chicken was delicious! Love the mushrooms, green olives and the paprika really came through. The chicken was very tender and the melted gruyere was sooo good. Served this dish with sauteed zucchini, tomatoes and more mushrooms! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag, June, 2013.

Wonderful! I'm sorry I waited so long to try this! The only thing I might do differently is eliminate the salt....there is enough salt in the olives and cheese to flavor the chicken. Maybe add just a sprinkle at serving! Really enjoyed this yummy chicken dish....thanks for sharing!

Thanks for posting BK! I absolutely loved this and I don't even like green olives. I kept it totally as written and it was fabulous. The kids didn't care for it but don't let that stop you from eating it for a great adult dinner. All the adults had seconds. The flavors blend together perfectly. The lemon juice, mushrooms, green onions all fresh of course are great in this. Definitely a keeper. I will make for guests and me again. Enjoy! ChefDLH

This is just plain spectacular. What outstanding flavor you get with this recipe. It's rich and bold without being overpowering in any direction. I have to admit that I didn't use the tomato paste (I never do in anything) and I passed on the cheese in order to save on the calories and fat. I totally love it even with my omissions. Bravo BK, bravo. Made for Photo Tag.
