Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken breasts
  • 20 g Butter
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 4 Cloves of garlic chopped
  • 10 g Thyme chopped
  • 10 g Rosemary chopped
  • 185 ml White wine
  • 250 g Cherry tomatoes cut into quarters
  • 150 g Black olives
  • 400 g Tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 5 g Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half straight down the middle, to give 8 chunks of chicken. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat some oil in a large pan, over a medium to high heat then add the butter. Once it melts, cook the chicken until it’s golden brown on both sides.
  • Once golden brown, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the onions in the same pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. This is all flavour.
  • Chuck in the garlic, thyme and rosemary and cook for a further minute, before pouring in the white wine. Reduce the wine by half.
  • Add in the cherry tomatoes, black olives, and tin of chopped tomatoes. Stir well, then get the chicken back into the pan along with any juices.
  • Stir well, then simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Taste for seasoning, sprinkle over the chopped parsley, then dish it up with vegetables and potatoes.
