Braised Chicken and Olives
- 4 chicken breast halves or 8 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 Tbsp TSOOC Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil (more for pan as needed)
- 2 Tbsp TSOOC Oregano White Balsamic
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 6-8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1-2 lemons cut into rounds
- 1 Tbsp Instant Gourmet Mediterranean Seasoning
- 1 cup of assorted olives, pitted if desired
- 3/4 cup of white wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes whole
- 1 1/2 - 2 Cups of chicken broth
Combine TSOOC Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil and TSOOC Oregano White Balsamic and place in a shallow dish with chicken pieces, coat and let marinate for 30 mins-2 hours
In a heavy-based saucepan sauté on medium-high heat cook the chicken for 3-4 mins a side. Remove from pan and set aside
Reduce heat to low-medium and sauté together onions, garlic, lemons until caramelized
Add in Instant Gourmet Mediterranean Seasoning and return heat to medium-high
Deglaze the pan with wine and allow to evaporate
Add in chicken and the remaining ingredients and cover for approximately 10-15 mins or until chicken is fully cooked. Then remove lid and allow the liquid to reduce further
Serve with wilted greens and roasted smashed baby potatoes or crusty toasted french bread
