Romesco Chicken

Submitted by PaulaG

"This recipe was a handout at my local Sam's Club this weekend. It tasted wonderful and the only sodium coming from the green olives. Top the dish off with some freshly shaved Parmesan cheese for a low, sodium, low fat meal. The wine pairing they suggest is a Chardonnay."

We loved this. Very flavorful and easy to make. And it fit nicely into my WW points. Easy to make, the only change I made was to use canned stewed tomatoes as good fresh ones are not plentiful in Alaska this time of year. I don't think it made a difference in the end result. I used my immersion blender to mix it all up, worked very well. We will be making this one again! Thanks!

This was very flavorful, a nice change of pace from the ways we usually prepare chicken at our house. I added a couple of extra olives that I left in chunkier pieces than the blended ones, they made a good bite with extra oomph.

Thanks Paula for a great recipe. I loved how the olives give it such a burst of flavor. I'll be making it again :) Barbara
