Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp +2 tsp unsalted butter
6 small chicken breasts or three large breasts split in half lengthwise
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup green manzanilla olives

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and a little bit of freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet to a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and olive oil. When the butter melts, swirl the pan to combine the two. Add the chicken breasts, sear until golden brown and crusty on both sides, about 3-4 minutes side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add remaining two teaspoons butter to the skillet. Once the butter melts, swirl the pan to coat. Add onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss onions. Cook onions for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened and then turn the heat down to medium-low. Continue to cook onions until soft and caramelized, another 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Pour in wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring wine to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 1-2 minutes. Add in cream and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add chicken back in along with sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 calamata or other black olives, pitted and minced
8 sun-dried tomato halves in oil, cut into thin strips
3 tablespoons oil from sun-dried tomato jar, or olive oil
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil or minced parsley
4 teaspoons vegetable or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed of fat, rinsed and patted dry (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Place rack in center of oven, and preheat to 450 degrees. Combine olives, sun-dried tomatoes, their oil and fresh herbs in bowl.
  • Fold 12 squares of aluminum foil in half to make creases at center, unfold, and lightly coat shiny sides with teaspoon of vegetable oil on each. Lightly salt and pepper chicken breasts on both sides. Place each breast on shiny side of a piece of foil, just to one side of crease. Spoon tomato mixture over each breast, leaving 1/4-inch border around edges.
  • Loosely fold foil over chicken, then crimp edges of packet to seal it tightly. Place packets on baking sheet, and bake on center rack for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand for 5 minutes. To avoid possibility of burning by steam, cut slit in packets before opening them.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This recipe for chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and olives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of juicy chicken, flavorful sun-dried tomatoes, and briny olives is sure to please everyone at the table.
