CHICKEN OLIVER

Chicken Oliver image

This recipe was given to me by a friend who made it for a pot-luck at work. It's very easy to make and very tasty, too. I've made it several times and I hope you enjoy this chicken that has a little different twist . Serve with crusty French bread.

¼ cup butter or margarine
6 (6 ounce) boned, skinned chicken breast halves
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh garlic

Steps:

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken breasts, turning occasionally and reducing heat when necessary, 5 minutes per side, or until no longer pink in center and juices run clear.
Add thyme, rosemary, garlic, black and green olives, mushrooms, pearl onions, and chicken stock to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is to desired tenderness. Stir in potatoes, peas, and wine. Cover and continue simmering another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
