Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup pitted green olives, halved
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil (reserve skillet). Set aside.
  • Raise heat to medium; place onion in skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives; cook until tomatoes release their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on top of chicken.

I'm not a big fan of olives, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The olives added a nice salty flavor to the dish.
