Preparation
Clean the chicken breast by removing tendons and small bones. Cut it into pieces and coat them in rice flour.
Heat a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, add the chicken (1) and sear it for a few minutes, then transfer it to a plate and lightly salt it.
Deglaze the bottom of the pan with wine, add the sliced olives, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes (2).
Let the mixture flavor at medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then add the chicken pieces (3).
Stir, moisten with a little hot water (or broth), and continue cooking for about ten minutes, adjusting based on the size of the pieces.
At the end, add a few leaves of thyme, oregano, basil, or other herbs as desired.
The flavorful chicken stew is ready, tender and tasty, to be served hot or warm.
Tips and Notes
You can use both the breast and other parts of the chicken, boned and skinned. In this case, extend the cooking time by a few minutes.
If using sun-dried tomatoes in oil, pat them dry with paper towels, otherwise the sauce will be too greasy.
FAQ
Can I use only fresh cherry tomatoes?
Of course, if you don’t have sun-dried ones, you can substitute with more cherry tomatoes.
How long does the stew last?
You can store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days in a well-sealed glass container.
