Preparation
- Step 1
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Drop the tomatoes in a kettle of boiling water and let them remain for 10 seconds. Drain and peel. Cut them into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 3 cups.
- Step 2
Heat the oil in a skillet and add the chicken pieces. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces and brown for about 1 minute. Add the garlic, onion and red pepper. Cook and stir briefly until the vegetables are wilted. Add the vinegar, chicken broth, tomatoes, olives, bay leaf and 4 sprigs of the thyme. Cover tightly, lower heat and cook, simmering for 15 minutes.
- Step 3
Uncover and cook 5 minutes more. Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with the remaining thyme sprigs for garnish.

Easy, quick and tasty
I used canned tomatoes and Kalamata olives. It was delicious but could have used a little more chicken.
Thank goodness for the classics of Pierre Franey. The olives make the dish. I also added sliced mushrooms. Perfect.
Omigosh this was delicious! Easy to follow the directions. Took some time but it was well worth it! I put in more onions olives and garlic than the recipe called for bc ...why not.
