Instructions
Creating Chicken with Warm Olive Salsa is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Salsa: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Then, add the garlic and red onion, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped olives, cherry tomatoes, capers, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are softened.
5. Add Fresh Herbs: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and red wine vinegar. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Place the cooked chicken on plates and generously top with the warm olive salsa.
