Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breast
  • 4 fillets anchovy fillets
  • ½ cup black olives
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pound the 2 chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 anchovy fillets on each breast, then roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken rolls and sear until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add the 1 small sliced onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the 1 cup cherry tomatoes and 1/2 cup olives, and cook until tomatoes start to burst, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through (165°F), about 5 minutes. Serve hot, spooning sauce over the top.
