Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs.)
GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic, or 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/8 tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf
1 cans (8 oz.) GOYA® Tomato Sauce
12 GOYA® Manzanilla Olives Stuffed with Minced Pimientos, thinly sliced

  • 3. Transfer chicken to pan; cook, flipping once, until coated in sauce and cooked through, about 15 minutes more. Remove chicken from pan; stir remaining oil into tomato sauce mixture.
