Chicken breasts get bold bursts of flavor from a zesty topping of cherry tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, and green olives. Serve this dish with rice or a simple green salad and crusty bread.

　　

Ingredients

serves 4

　　1 tablespoon olive oil

　　4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　1 onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

　　1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

　　1/3 cup pitted green olives, halved

　　1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

　　1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro

　　

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned and just cooked through, turning once, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil.

　　

Step 2

Raise heat to medium; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives; cook until tomatoes soften and release their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken topped with tomato mixture.
