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.

- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth

- 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata or oil-cured olives, halved
