Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup black olives
- 1 cup green olives
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
Add the black and green olives to the sauce and stir to combine.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or a side of roasted vegetables.
