Rosemary Chicken Stew

2  medium potatoes, peeled, cut into small cubes

3  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1  onion, finely chopped

2  garlic cloves, minced

1  pound boneless skinless free-range chicken pieces

3  carrots, peeled, cut in ⅓-inch pieces

Juice of ⅓ lemon

2  tablespoons fresh rosemary, or 1 tablespoon dried

2  tablespoons fresh basil, or 1 tablespoon dried

⅓ cup parsley, chopped

12 to 14 pitted black olives, sliced

Combine the potatoes with enough water to cover in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 5 to 10 minutes or until tender; drain. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes. Add 1⅓ cups water, carrots, lemon juice, rosemary, basil, parsley, and olives. Simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
