Easy Skillet Chicken Recipe with Tomatoes & Black Olives

We call this chicken recipe that is cooked in the skillet with lots of garlic, tomatoes and black olives Chicken Jaymee.  A super-quick and healthy dinner that only takes a few ingredients to churn out a delicious home-cooked meal.

This is a great meal to prepare on those days when you have a long list of things to do and not one of them involves cooking.

We love this dinner because it’s a breeze to prepare and  can be made in any weather conditions!  During the Summer months serve over rice with a side of corn on the cob.  Winter months serve with a side of buttered noodles and a green vegetable like steamed broccoli.
