2 tablespoons 30mlOnions - sliced 1/2" (medium)
2 teaspoons 10mlFlour
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlRosemary - dry crushed
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlBlack pepper

2 tablespoons 30mlLemon juice
1/2   Spinach - chopped, no stems
1/4 cup 59mlPitted ripe olives - sliced

Recipe Instructions

About 40 minutes before serving:

In a 10 inch skillet (non-stick sauce pan for 1 serving) over medium-high heat, heat the oil then add onions and cook until soft and golden brown. Remove onions to a bowl and set aside.

On a sheet of waxed paper, mix the flour, salt, rosemary and pepper, blending well. Coat each piece of chicken. Cook the chicken pieces over medium high heat in the remaining oil until golden brown on all sides.

Add the potatoes, lemon juice, cooked onions and 1/4 cup of water to the chicken in the skillet. Do not reduce the liquid for one serving or the pot is likely to boil dry. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken and potatoes are fork tender. The juices of the chicken will run clear when pierced with a knife.

Stir in the spinach and olives, cooking until the spinach is just wilted.
