Let’s get saucy! These chicken breasts are basking in a luscious pan sauce that you’ll whip together in no time at all, by combining a little cream with seasonings of black olive, basil and bell pepper. For added texture and flavour—and to up the veg count—throw in soft leafy greens and nibbly slices of sun-dried tomatoes, so sweet and concentrated. Add a side salad crunchy with strips of beets, and you’ve checked all the boxes.
