Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium-high.

Sauté chicken until lightly browned on both sides and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.

Add onion and poblano to pan; sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes

Stir in tomatoes, olives and jalapenos; cook until tomatoes begin to soften, 3-5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro and lime juice.

Service sauce over chicken; garnish with chopped cilantro.
