How To Make olive martini chicken
-
Step 1Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt & pepper. (Don't use too much salt because the green olives will be salty.) Heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
-
Step 2Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in the skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broth, olives, gin, vermouth, and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits.
-
Step 3Return the chicken to the skillet, along with any juices. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the thickest part of the breasts reads 160 to 165 degrees on a thermometer.
-
Step 4Transfer chicken to a serving platter and pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve with rice, noodles, or potatoes of your choice.
