    Recipe Introduction


    Simplicity yields great taste in this pared-down version of a classic dish. Chicken thighs are used because their flavor is richer than chicken breasts, and they stay moist during cooking.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 T olive oil
    • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
    • 1 small onion, halved, very thinly sliced
    • 1 garlic clove, crushed
    • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
    • 1 (28-oz) can Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes
    • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata or oil-cured olives, halved
    • 1/4 tsp salt


    Instructions


    1. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, Add chicken in batches; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Place on plate; loosely tent with foil to keep warm.
    2. To same skillet, add onion and garlic; cook 2 to 4 minutes or until softened. Add wine; increase heat to high. Bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute or until liquid has nearly evaporated, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Reduce heat to medium-high; add chicken with juices, tomatoes, olive and salt. Return ot a simmer. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center, stirring occasionally to break up tomatoes.
