Preparation

Step 1

Cut 1 lemon into 8 wedges. Squeeze
enough juice from second lemon to measure
2 tablespoons; set wedges and juice aside.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high
heat. Add onion and sprinkle with salt and
pepper; sauté until golden brown, about
8 minutes. Add next 5 ingredients; stir 1
minute. Add broth; bring to boil. Sprinkle
chicken with salt and pepper; add to skillet.
Add lemon wedges. Cover, reduce heat to
medium-low, and simmer until chicken is
cooked through, turning occasionally, 25
to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter.
Add olives and 2 tablespoons lemon juice to
skillet. Increase heat to high; boil uncovered
to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Season
with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.
