Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 4 chicken cutlets (about 1 pound)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 anchovy, minced

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 1 (14-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes

  • ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped

  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add to the pan and cook, flipping once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°F, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and anchovy; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in wine, tomatoes and their juices and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

  3. Stir in olives, capers and any accumulated juices from the chicken. Nestle the chicken into the sauce and garnish with parsley, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
