4 tablespoons olive oil divided
2 large chicken breasts sliced in half or pounded out and cut in two--you want 4 cutlets
salt & pepper
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 small onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 green bell pepper chopped
1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil & herbs chopped
1/4 cup kalamata olives halved
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon oregano
lemon juice to taste
1/2 cup chicken stock or white wine
splash cream 1/4-1/2 cup
fresh parsley
more salt and pepper to taste
cooked white rice

In a large skillet, preheat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir salt and pepper into flour. Coat chicken in flour and cook in hot oil until browned but not necessarily cooked. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Pour in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same pan and reduce heat to medium. Saute onions, garlic, green pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes until onions have softened, 5 minutes. Stir in olives, bay leaf, oregano, lemon juice, and white wine or stock.
Place chicken breasts back into the pan. Cover and cook 5-10 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in cream, parsley, and more salt and pepper. Serve over warm rice with lemon slices.
