**Chicken Olives Capers Tomatoes Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
– 2 tablespoons capers, drained
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to start preparing this flavorful dish.
2. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
3. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until they are translucent and fragrant, for about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until aromatic.
4. Next, sprinkle in the dried oregano and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic, allowing the flavors to meld for about 1 minute.
5. Return the seared chicken breasts back to the skillet. Add the halved Kalamata olives and capers, distributing them evenly around the chicken.
6. Pour the can of diced tomatoes with the juices over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients and ensure the chicken is coated with the flavorful tomato mixture.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
8. Once done, garnish your Chicken with Olives, Capers, and Tomatoes dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
