Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 medium Bell peppers (red and green)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (no added salt)
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion and slice the bell peppers into strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 7

Add the sliced Kalamata olives and stir to incorporate. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot, optionally with a side of whole-grain pasta, quinoa, or a green salad for a complete meal.
