Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, then sear 3 minutes per side without moving until golden.

  3. Step 3

    Remove chicken to a plate. Add onion and garlic to the skillet, stir for 60 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in wine, scrape up browned bits, then add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and olives.

  5. Step 5

    Return chicken to the pan, nestling it into sauce. Simmer 8 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over rice or with crusty bread to soak up sauce.
