Making
Now it's time to make our chicken!
First sprinkle your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat your skillet and oil on medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or just until golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 475 degrees. Transfer the chicken to a lightly greased baking dish. Add the tomatoes, olives and capers. Bake at 475 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Remove from oven and serve.

This recipe is best served fresh. But you can save leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. Microwave to reheat.

This is one of my favorite quick and easy chicken recipes. I made it for a family dinner and replaced chicken with halloumi cheese for my vegetarian daughter. Very tasty.
This is one of the fastest dinners I have ever made. So healthy, and the kids loved it too. I used leftovers to make a wrap for our lunches!
Any time that I'm able to have chicken, and capers in the same dish it's always a win, and this recipe is no exception to that rule. I can't wait to make this again!
We all loved the fresh flavors in this dish! The olives and capers made the chicken so tasty.
This was so easy to make! I loved all of the different flavors. Will definitely be making this again!
