Zesty Chicken with Shallots, Capers and Olives

This spicy tomato sauce in this dish - redolent of garlic, rosemary, and basil - looks and smells as though you slaved for hours. Be sure not to drain the diced tomatoes; you will need the extra liquid their juice will provide.

Makes 4 servings

1 pound thin-sliced skinless boneless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon coarsely ground q1`black pepper

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 shallots, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

3 tablespoons cider vinegar

¼ cup dry white wine

1 (14 ½ ounce) can dried tomatoes, with their juice

5 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

1 tablespoon capers, drained

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

1. Sprinkle the chicken with rosemary, salt and pepper.

2. Heath the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side; transfer to a plate. Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook until the shallots are soft, about 1 minute Stir in the vinegar; continue to cook until the vinegar evaporates, about 30 seconds. Add the wine, tomatoes, olives, and capers. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Stir in the basil. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook about 1 minute longer to heat through.

Serve the chicken over your favorite thin-strand pasta with a tossed green salad on the side.
