Recipe Introduction

2 oz of Spanish Olives, halved and pitted
2 oz of artichoke hearts cut into quarters
2 oz of sun-dried tomatoes, sliced

salt and pepper to taste
1 oz fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary and oregano)
a good quality olive oil
2 generous cloves of garlic (minced)
1 small shallot (minced)
1/4 cup white wine (good enough to drink)Recipe
Season chicken, with shallots in a hot pan until lightly browned, add garlic saut� another 60 seconds (do not let garlic burn) add wine to pan (deglaze).
Add olives, artichokes and tomatoes saut� together and add chicken stock and simmer until chicken is cooked through.

To serve: Serve in a Cazuela (clay pot) with toasted bread.
