This came from Allrecipes.com, a site I subscribe to. We had planned to have boneless chicken to-day but it was just too hot for DH to go out and cook on the grill so I decided to give this a try. Will definately make again! so easy and so flavorful!

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 c minced onion
3 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 c pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced thin
1/4 c gin
1 Tbsp dry vermouth
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt & pepper. (Don't use too much salt because the green olives will be salty.) Heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • 2. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in the skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth, olives, gin, vermouth, and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits.
  • 3. Return the chicken to the skillet, along with any juices. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the thickest part of the breasts reads 160 to 165 degrees on a thermometer.
  • 4. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve with rice, noodles, or potatoes of your choice.
