Preparation
Cook the chicken
Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Start the sauce
Halve the tomatoes. In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the tomatoes, ½ the onions, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Finish the sauce
To the pan of tomatoes, add the demi-glace, ⅔ cup water (double for 4 portions) and S&P; bring to a boil. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 30 sec. to 1 min., until the tomatoes begin to burst. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, partially covered, 2 to 3 min., until the sauce has slightly reduced.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, medium-dice the cucumbers. Core and medium-dice the sweet pepper. Roughly chop the olives (if desired). In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, sweet pepper, olives, vinegar, remaining onions and spices, ½ the cheese, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the sauce and a spoonful of the salad between your plates. Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Crumble the remaining cheese over the chicken. Serve the remaining salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
