CHICKEN AND OLIVES



Chicken and Olives image

The sharp, briny bite of olives is the dominant flavors here, which is why it pairs so well with chicken breast. This is one of those dishes where, if you tasted the chicken and sauce separately, you probably wouldn't be very impressed, but together they're magic.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless chicken breast halves with skin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup sliced shallots
½ cup pitted and sliced green olives
½ cup brine-cured pitted olives, such as Kalamata, halved lengthwise and brine reserved
1 cup chicken broth
1 lemon, zested and juiced
½ teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into four pieces

Steps:

  • Season skin-side of chicken with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Turn breasts over and season skinless side with salt, black pepper, cayenne, and herbes de Provence. Turn again so that the skin-side is facing up; rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place chicken skin-side down in hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook chicken until skin is well-browned, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until just browned, about 2 minutes; transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir shallots in the hot skillet until just softening and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir olives into shallots and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the skillet; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the reserved olive brine, lemon zest, and cumin; increase heat to high and cook until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and return chicken, skin-side up, to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Stir parsley and butter into sauce, stirring continuously until butter is melted and sauce is shiny. Spoon sauce over chicken.

CHICKEN WITH ONIONS, OLIVES AND CAPERS



Chicken With Onions, Olives and Capers image

Cut this out of our local newspaper eons ago and finally got around to trying it. I loved the fact that the author made it so simple to follow with approximate times for each step so that even the newest cooks could attempt it. Medium high seemed too high on my gas range and everything was cooking too quickly so I went to medium. Other than that, it was easy to follow. We really enjoyed the flavor because we love olives and capers. Next time I'm going to try adding some artichoke hearts!
