Chicken with olives and capers is a tasty main course that I really enjoyed 😉
I usually love chicken with potatoes: a real delight, and I often enjoy it that way.
On Saturday, I bought some chicken thighs and thought about cooking it again with potatoes, but then I preferred to change it up by adding olives and capers instead.
I must say that even this way, it’s not bad at all 😀
Certainly, it’s a classic main dish that you probably already know, but since I hadn’t published the recipe yet, here I am with my version.
In addition to olives and capers, I also added tomatoes and used aromatic herbs like marjoram.
If you don’t have marjoram, you can also use thyme or oregano.
It’s a tasty main dish that I cooked in a saucepan.
You can also bake it: in this case, I recommend adding the olives and capers towards the end of cooking.
If you’re serving it to kids, you can use water instead of wine.
