By mirelsonp

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
• coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 medium onion, halved 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

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil (reserve skillet). Set aside.

2. Raise heat to medium; place onion in skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives; cook until tomatoes release their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Serve on top of chicken.
