Chicken Olives with Tomatoes

Chicken Olives with Tomatoes

This was a great quick and delicious recipe. Instead of chicken breasts, we used boneless chicken thighs and grilled with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. I also made my own olive oil & vinegar dressing with 2 T olive oil , 1 T red wine vinegar, and pinches of salt, pepper, dry mustard, and italian seasoning. Great flavors for only having a few ingredients, and very fast to make - will definitely make again!

INGREDIENTS
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup multicolored cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
3 tbsps oil and vinegar dressing, divided
20 olives, halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

DIRECTIONS
1. Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Place chicken on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill for 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Keep warm. Combine tomatoes, 1 1/2 tsps dressing, and olives in a medium skillet over medium heat, and cook for 2 minutes or until tomatoes soften slightly and mixture is thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Brush chicken with remaining 1 1/2 tbsps dressing. Cut each chicken breast half into 3/4-inch slices. Top each chicken breast half with 1/4 cup tomato mixture. Sprinkle each serving with 2 tbsps cheese and torn basil leaves, if desired.
