How to Make Chicken With Sun Dried Tomatoes Olives

  1. Using a paring knife, remove the zest from 1 lemon, avoiding the bitter white pith.

  5. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened.

  10. Place chicken in a covered baking dish, skin-side up.
  11. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick strips.
  12. In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomato strips, 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives (about 25g), the reserved lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  13. Spoon the sun-dried tomato mixture over the chicken.
  14. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the chicken and topping.
  15. Pour the reserved 1/4 cup tomato broth into the bottom of the baking dish.
