How to Make Chicken With White Wine And Olives

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse 2 lbs chicken pieces (e.g., 2 breasts, 2 thighs) and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Season chicken generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan; work in batches if necessary.
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add 2 shallots (finely chopped) and 4 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in 1 cup dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan (this is where the flavor magic happens!).
Add 1/4 cup minced fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano), 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives (halved), and 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained). Simmer for 5 minutes.
Return chicken to the skillet.
Cover the skillet with foil.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Turn chicken halfway through.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired.
