Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  5. Stir in crushed tomatoes, olives, capers, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer.
