How to Make Chicken Breasts With Marsala Kalamata Olives

  1. Cut each chicken breast into 3 equal-sized pieces. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The butter should sizzle when the chicken is added.
  3. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a warmed plate. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. If the pan is dry, add 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the Kalamata olives, marjoram, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Pour in the Marsala wine and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  8. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh marjoram, if desired.
