CHICKEN TAGINE WITH OLIVES AND PRESERVED LEMONS



Chicken Tagine With Olives and Preserved Lemons image

This rich and fragrant chicken stew is laden with complex flavors and spices reminiscent of the sort you might encounter in a mountainside cafe in Morocco. Save yourself the cost of a plane ticket, however, and make this at home. First, rub the chicken with a redolent combination of garlic, saffron, ground ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric and black pepper, then pop it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours to marinate. Once that's done, brown the chicken parts, and remove from the pan, making room for a pile of sliced onions that you'll sauté until golden brown. Nestle a cinnamon stick into the tangle of onions, pile the chicken parts on top and scatter with slices of preserved lemons and olives, a combination of green and kalamata. Add a bit of chicken stock and lemon juice, then cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, and your house smells amazing.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND OLIVES



Braised Chicken With Lemon and Olives image

A good cook needs an assortment of chicken dishes to fall back on. Aside from roasting or frying (and in addition to grilling), braising chicken is a simple technique to master. Chicken thighs make the best braises; use skin-on bone-in thighs for the best flavor. Though it could be done on the stovetop, this dish is oven-braised. Here are more recipes using chicken thighs.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, roasts, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 chicken thighs, skin-on and bone-in, about 3 1/2 pounds
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
1 tablespoon roughly chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Meyer lemons, cut in wedges
1 cup flavorful olives with pits, a mixture of black and green, about 1 pound
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season well with salt and pepper and place in an earthenware baking dish in one layer, skin side up. Sprinkle with red pepper, garlic, fennel and rosemary and drizzle with olive oil. Rub seasoning into thighs on all sides. Tuck lemon wedges here and there. Let marinate for 15 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Put baking dish in oven, uncovered, and roast until skin browns lightly, about 20 minutes. Scatter olives evenly over chicken and add broth. Cover tightly and bake for 1 hour, until meat is very tender when probed with a skewer.
  • Remove thighs and lemon wedges and arrange on a platter. Keep warm. Pour pan juices into a saucepan and quickly skim fat from surface. Over high heat, simmer rapidly until reduced by half. Spoon juices over chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

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.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Pan-Fried

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.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ARTICHOKES AND OLIVES



Braised Chicken With Artichokes and Olives image

Imbued with the classic Mediterranean flavors of artichokes, garlic, mint and olives, this braised chicken is complex and highly satisfying, with a white wine sauce brightened with lemon. Fresh artichokes have the most pronounced character and meatiest texture, but if you can't get them or don't want to go to the trouble of cleaning them, you can substitute frozen artichoke hearts (you'll need a 9- or 10-once package). Serve this with crusty bread for sauce-mopping.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     one pot, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lemons
3 medium artichokes, about 1 1/2 pounds
3 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Pinch red pepper flakes
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup pitted olives, halved (use black, green or a mix)
2 large rosemary branches
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, as needed
Chives or mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into a large bowl of water. Discard the outer leaves of each artichoke. As you do so, and as you continue cleaning the artichokes, dip them into the lemon water to stop the cut sides from browning. Use a paring knife to peel the base and stems. Slice off the top third of each artichoke. Slice the artichokes in half lengthwise. Using a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon, scoop out the hairy chokes inside, pulling out any prickly purple leaves as well. Slice each half into three pieces. Put trimmed artichoke pieces in lemon water until needed.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and season with salt and pepper. In a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sear in batches until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add artichokes and garlic to pan, adding more oil if needed, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and red pepper flakes; cook 1 minute more.
  • Pour in wine and stir in olives, rosemary branches and grated zest of 1/2 lemon. (Do not discard after zesting.) Return chicken to pan. Bring liquid to a simmer.
  • Cover pan and transfer to oven. Cook until chicken is tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (Check white meat after 25 minutes and remove from oven if done.) Transfer chicken to a plate and place skillet over medium-high heat. Simmer until pan juices thicken and become saucelike, about 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in butter.
  • Return chicken to pan and sprinkle with cheese. Adjust oven heat to broil and place pan in the oven until cheese is melted and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn.) Squeeze juice of remaining lemon half over pan and serve garnished with chives or mint if you like.

Cover and continue cooking until the chicken is tender, about 20 more minutes. Arrange the chicken on a platter. Top with the olive sauce, apricot mixture and almonds. Serve with couscous.

Provided by Rippin

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, skin removed and cut into pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
10 dried figs, halved
20 pitted green olives
5 cloves garlic, sliced
2 preserved lemons, pulp discarded and peels finely chopped
½ cup dry white wine
1 (14 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth, or as needed
1 bunch flat-leaf Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Season chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat remaining oil in a tagine over medium heat. Sear chicken in the hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes; remove and set aside. Add onion, coriander, cumin, and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes. Make sure to scrape the brown bits from the bottom while stirring; add a little water if needed.
  • Stir tomatoes, figs, olives, garlic, and lemons into the tagine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add the seared chicken and pour in white wine. Bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in enough chicken broth to fill the tagine only halfway up the sides of the chicken.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until the meat on the legs is no longer pink and pulls away from the bone, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the tagine from the heat and mix in parsley. Check seasonings and serve.

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GRAPES AND OLIVES



Pan Roasted Chicken Thighs with Grapes and Olives image

Our chopped challenge this week was grapes. We really wanted to cook with them, but needed to figure out how to balance out their sweetness. The combo of grapes with chicken thighs and lots of salty ingredients hits the perfect salty/sweet note. Chopped Basket Ingredient: Grapes

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups seedless red and/or green grapes
1 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
2 sprigs fresh oregano
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups quick-cooking couscous, cooked according to package, warm

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large, ovenproof high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. You may need to do this in two batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Transfer the browned chicken and any juices to a baking sheet or large plate.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic, 1 cup of the grapes, the olives, capers, oregano, wine and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter. Add the chicken and any juices back to the skillet, skin-side-up. Sprinkle the remaining grapes around the chicken. Continue cooking over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the broiler.
  • Place the skillet underneath the broiler to crisp the chicken skin, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • To serve, divide the warm couscous among 4 plates and top each plate with 2 of the chicken thighs and a large spoonful of the sauce.

OVEN-BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH FENNEL AND CASTELVETRANO OLIVES



Oven-Braised Chicken Thighs with Fennel and Castelvetrano Olives image

This recipe is infinitely variable. It can serve as a stand-alone stew with a side of crusty bread or a sauce over noodles, rice, or potatoes. I follow a paleo diet and serve it on zucchini noodles with a side of broccoli raab cooked with anchovy, garlic, and lemon. The sweetness of the onions and fennel counters the bitterness of the broccoli raab beautifully.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bulb fennel, cut into 1/4-inch thick slivers
1 yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slivers
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 dried chile de arbol pepper
½ cup white wine
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes in puree
½ cup pitted and halved Castelvetrano olives
2 tablespoons chopped fennel greens
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large, heavy cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Brown chicken in the hot oil, about 5 minutes per side. Meat will still be pink inside. Transfer chicken into a bowl, leaving drippings in skillet.
  • Turn heat down to medium; cook fennel, onion, and fennel seeds in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onion and fennel begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Stir garlic, thyme, and chile de arbol pepper into fennel mixture. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 more minute. Stir white wine into fennel mixture, scraping up and dissolving any browned bits of food on the bottom of the skillet.
  • Pour tomatoes with puree into skillet and bring to a boil. Break tomatoes into large chunks with a wooden spoon; adjust salt and pepper. Add chicken thighs, any accumulated drippings from chicken, and olives to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink inside, about 45 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fennel greens, flat-leaf parsley, and lemon zest.

Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons, Fennel, Olives, and Harissa image

Great spicy, exotic chicken dish. I created this mashup of several recipes to inaugurate my new tagine, but I think any skillet, loosely covered, should work. Serve over couscous.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS AND OLIVES



Roast Chicken With Apricots and Olives image

This festive dish is a fairly easy main course for the Seder meal - or anytime. Marinating overnight leaves very little work on the day of serving, but two hours is enough to infuse the chicken with tangy citrus and the sumac. Dried apricots, already more tart than sweet, are marinated along with the chicken and become almost savory in the oven. Using pitted Castelvetrano olives will save you a lot of elbow grease, and their meaty texture and mild flavor are perfect here. After roasting together, everything goes under the broiler to deeply brown and thicken the cooking juices into a tasty sauce.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 1/2 to 4 pounds bone-in chicken pieces (see Note)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus 1 lemon, sliced and seeded
1/4 cup fresh blood orange or regular orange juice
1/4 cup honey
4 to 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons ground sumac
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup (6 ounces) dried apricots
1 cup (4 ounces) pitted Castelvetrano olives with 2 tablespoons brine
4 large or 8 small shallots, roots trimmed, peeled and cut lengthwise into quarters or halves
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Slash each piece of chicken through the skin a few times, about 1 inch deep. Season with the salt and pepper and place in a large bowl or large resealable plastic bag. Whisk lemon juice, orange juice, honey, garlic, thyme, sumac and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl to combine. Add lemon slices, apricots, olives and olive brine. Pour the marinade over the chicken and cover tightly or remove as much air as possible before sealing it. Set on a small sheet pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours, turning the bag from time to time.
  • Position a rack 8 inches from the broiler heat source. Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Toss shallots with remaining tablespoon oil and spread out on a large sheet pan, cut sides down. Place on the lower rack and cook, turning once, until starting to turn golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and use your hands and a slotted spoon to scoop the chicken, apricots, lemon slices and olives onto the pan, reserving the marinade. Arrange in an even layer with the chicken skin side up and return to the oven. Cook for 15 minutes, baste the chicken with the drippings, and cook until chicken juices run clear, about 10 minutes longer. Remove the pan from the oven. Heat the broiler to high.
  • Pour the reserved marinade and wine over the chicken, and broil until the chicken is browned and the liquid is thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. If the apricots start to get too dark, turn them over in the sauce. Transfer to a platter. If you used chicken breasts, cut them in half. Pour the sauce over everything or serve it on the side.

CRISPY PAN-SEARED CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI WITH OLIVES AND LEMON



Crispy Pan-Seared Chicken and Zucchini with Olives and Lemon image

This recipe will amaze the zucchini-averse and anyone who thinks they've had zukes every which way. Crosshatching and salting the zucchini for 10 minutes before cooking removes excess moisture and lets the seasoning penetrate all the way through. Next, a hard sear in the fat left over from cooking chicken thighs keeps them crisp-tender. Douse them with a lemony garlic oil studded with olives and chiles, and you'll love zucchini forever.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 small zucchini or summer squash (about 1 lb.)
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 skin-on, boneless chicken thighs (if unavailable, remove bones from skin-on, bone-in thighs with kitchen shears)
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Fresno chile, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Castelvetrano olives, smashed, pits removed, torn
1 Tbsp. oregano leaves
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using the tip of your knife, deeply score cut sides in a crosshatch pattern, spacing about 1/2" apart. Toss zucchini and 1 tsp. salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let sit 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels (discard any liquid in bowl).
  • Meanwhile, coat a large cast-iron skillet with 1 Tbsp oil. Season chicken on all sides with 1/4 tsp. pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and arrange in cold skillet (skin side down) in a single layer. Heat over medium and cook, undisturbed, until skin is deep golden brown and chicken is almost cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Turn chicken and continue to cook just until cooked through and lightly browned underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter (skin side up).
  • Arrange zucchini (cut side down) in hot chicken fat in skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until surfaces are charred, 6-8 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until skin side is browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to platter with chicken.
  • Heat garlic and remaining 6 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is sizzling and just barely beginning to brown, 3-4 minutes. Add chile and olives and cook, stirring occasionally, until chile starts to sizzle and brown slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in oregano and lemon zest.
  • Spoon garlic oil over zucchini and chicken. Squeeze some lemon juice over and serve with additional wedges alongside.

CRISPY CHICKEN STEW WITH LEMON, ARTICHOKES, CAPERS, AND OLIVES



Crispy Chicken Stew with Lemon, Artichokes, Capers, and Olives image

We love lemon, artichokes, and olives, so this dish just makes sense to us. We almost always leave the skin on our chicken thighs so we can render out some of the fat and crisp the skin to perfection. If you and your family enjoy Greek flavors as much as we do, then this stew will quickly become a favorite in your household.

Categories     HarperCollins     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Artichoke     Olive     Kid-Friendly     Healthy     Small Plates

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons ghee or olive oil
1/2 red onion, peeled, and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup capers with brine
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 cup white wine
3 cups Chicken Bone Broth
2 cups canned artichoke hearts
1 cup Kalamata olives
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the sea salt, and the dried oregano. Add the chicken thighs and rub the seasoning into the chicken until evenly coated; set aside. You can also cover and refrigerate the chicken thighs and marinate for 2 to 24 hours.
  • When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat the ghee or oil in a cast-iron skillet or sauté pan over medium-heat.
  • Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the bowl and, using paper towels, pat the chicken thighs dry. Place the chicken thighs, skin side-down, in the hot ghee or oil, spacing them evenly, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the skin begins to brown. Turn the chicken thighs and brown on the opposite side for 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, capers, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lemon slices.
  • Add the white wine and deglaze the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, return the thighs to the skillet, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the artichoke hearts and olives and continue simmering for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet, pull the meat from the bones, and roughly chop. Add the chicken meat back into the skillet and stir to distribute evenly. To serve, scoop the stew into serving bowls and garnish with the chopped fresh oregano.
  • Do Ahead:
  • The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

ONE-DISH BAKED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND OLIVES



One-Dish Baked Chicken with Tomatoes and Olives image

This toss-it-all-in-a-baking-dish chicken dinner is the hands-off summer recipe we all need.

Provided by Chris Morocco

Categories     Chicken     Bon Appétit     Olive     Tomato     Quick & Easy     Dinner     One-Pot Meal     Summer     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dairy Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 garlic cloves, divided
1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon soy sauce
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 (3 1/2-4-pound) chicken, quartered
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 pounds tomatoes of all sizes, halved, quartered if large
3 sprigs thyme
1/3 cup Castelvetrano or Picholine olives, pitted
1 baguette, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Finely grate 1 garlic clove into a small bowl and toss with Aleppo-style pepper, soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp. oil. Rub all over chicken, then season with salt and black pepper.
  • Toss tomatoes, thyme, olives, 3 Tbsp. oil, and remaining 8 garlic cloves in a 3-qt. baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Arrange chicken on top of tomato mixture and roast until deeply browned and cooked through, 40-50 minutes. When chicken is about 5 minutes from being done, drizzle baguette with oil and season with salt. Place in oven directly on rack next to chicken and toast until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Slice each piece in half. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes.
  • Carve chicken as desired and serve piled atop toast with tomato mixture and pan juices spooned over.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, briny olives, and a flavorful dry white wine.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear, and you'll end up with bland, rubbery meat.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the pan. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine: After removing the chicken from the pan, add a splash of white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This will help to add flavor to the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce until it thickens: Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. This will help to develop the flavors.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken and olives is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and the sauce is still flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chicken and olives is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flavorful sauce and tender chicken, it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give chicken and olives a try. You won't be disappointed.
