Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup pitted green olives, halved
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned and just cooked through, turning once, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Raise heat to medium; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives; cook until tomatoes soften and release their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken topped with tomato mixture.
