A delightful Mediterranean-inspired chicken dish with a rich tomato and olive sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Coat each chicken breast in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
Using a zip-lock bag for coating can make cleanup easier.
Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Don't overcrowd the pan to ensure even browning.
Transfer the chicken to an oven-proof baking dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the white wine to the pan and let it simmer for 1 minute. Then, add the crushed tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the wine to incorporate all the flavors.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Uncover, add the olives, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Adding the olives at the end preserves their texture and flavor.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
