instructions
    1

    Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.

    2

    While the oil is heating, dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.

    3

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    4

    Next, add the chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

    5

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the canned tomatoes (with their juice) and add the chopped green olives, cumin, and coriander. Stir everything well together.

    6

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

    7

    Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve hot with rice or tortillas.
