Easy breezy weeknight dinner is right before your eyes. This Chicken with Tomato and Olive Stew is one quick meal to make for busy evening. Tender chicken simmered in fresh tomato served with rice or bread, it`s your choice.

I bake a lot, and I post more sweet stuff than savory stuff because I find sweet stuff easier to make even during weekdays after work. This is why I love weekends. Weekends are my opportunity to focus on cooking savory dishes, and I can take my time making it.

I was first into cooking before I got into baking. I used to cook for my family when I was still in the Philippines. I shop for the ingredients and cook all of our meals. Although I have a lot of favorite dishes to cook, my favorite are those that have thick creamy sauces. I find it very interesting and fun to make, and it gave me opportunity to incorporate different kind of flavor an spices, especially assortment of spicy peppers which are a must in all of my savory dishes.

Easy and Simple Weeknights or Weekend Dinner

I like using chicken and beef in most of my savory dishes, from time to time I used pork too, although I cannot remember the last time I actually cooked a pork dish. I love savory dishes that are simple and easy to cook, especially for busy days where all I want is a nice hot homemade meal and more time to enjoy it. This Chicken with Tomato and Olives is one of those simple easy to make dish. The most of the wait time is the reduction of the sauce, other than that, everything is just chopping , cutting and sautéing the ingredients. It’ s simple, it’s easy and it’s delicious.
