Mediterranean Chicken with Onions and Olives
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.

  3. Brown the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  4. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they start to soften and become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  5. Deglaze and Add Olives: If using wine or broth, pour it into the skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the olives and stir to combine.

  6. Bake the Chicken: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the onion and olive mixture. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil before serving.
