Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
4 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped coarse
1 small garlic clove, chopped and mashed
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
12 pitted black olives (sliced, if you prefer)

Steps:

  • Wipe chicken dry, season them with salt and pepper, and dip lightly in flour.
  • In a broad sauté or large heavy pan brown chicken on all sides in hot olive oil.
  • Add onion and let it cook slowly until it is golden.
  • Add white wine, scraping up meat bits to incorporate, cover and cook until this is reduced by about half; about 20 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, and parsley, cook about 5 minutes to heat thoroughly.
  • DO NOT OVER-COOK at this point-tomatoes should be firm.
  • Just before serving, add a dozen pitted black olives.
  • Serve topped with sauce or with rice.
