Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 chicken cutlets (about 1 pound)
  • 1/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper, divided
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 anchovy, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 (14-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tbsp capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add to the pan and cook, flipping once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°F, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and anchovy; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in wine, tomatoes and their juices and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in olives, capers and any accumulated juices from the chicken. Nestle the chicken into the sauce and garnish with parsley, if desired.
