A rustic French dish—chicken stewed in a cream sauce and topped with tomatoes and black olives.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or bone-in chicken breasts)
  • 1 pinch kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch pepper, or to taste
  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 med onion, sliced thinly
  • 2 Tbs butter
  • 2 Tbs flour
  • 1 cup white wine (Pinot grigio works well)
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1 Tbs dried thyme
  • 1 2.25 oz can sliced black olives
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

  • Salt and pepper chicken. Preheat skillet and drizzle with olive oil. Brown chicken on medium heat. Remove chicken.
  • Add onions to skillet and sauté until soft. Turn heat to low.
  • Add butter and melt. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in wine and chicken stock. Add parsley and thyme.
