Olive Martini

Chicken

 

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup gin
  • 1 tablespoon dry vermouth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sliced pimento-stuffed green olives

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the skillet, and cook until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, and add the butter and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes. Pour in the gin, vermouth, lemon juice, and olives; simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and chicken juices run clear.
