This simple and delicious dish brings together the flavors of the Mediterranean, highlighting fresh and healthy ingredients. Chicken dishes are popular thanks to their versatility and relatively short preparation time, making them ideal for family meals or special occasions. Ingredients - 1 boneless chicken breast (about 500-600 g) - 3 tablespoons soy sauce - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil - 1 cup dry white wine (about 150 ml) - 2 green garlic cloves (or 3 cloves) - 2 sprigs green onion - 2-3 large ripe tomatoes - A handful of green or black olives, pitted - 1 bunch fresh parsley - 1 bunch fresh dill - 1 teaspoon dried oregano - Salt and pepper to taste - Water (about 250 ml) Preparation steps 1. Preparing the chicken Start by cutting the chicken breast into thin slices about 1 cm thick. This method allows the chicken to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the marinade. Be sure to use a sharp knife to avoid tearing the meat. 2. Marinating In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil and white wine. This marinade will add not only flavor but also a juicy texture to the chicken. Add garlic and green onion, both finely chopped, along with salt, pepper, dill and oregano. Mix the ingredients well to combine. 3. Adding the chicken Add the chicken slices to the marinade bowl and make sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. This step is essential as it allows the flavors to penetrate deep into the meat. 4. Making the sauce Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the chicken from the fridge and transfer to a baking tray. Add a cup of water to the baking dish to keep it moist while baking. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent the meat from drying out. 5. Cooking the chicken Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. This will allow the chicken to cook thoroughly and become tender. 6. Adding the tomatoes and olives After 30 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and add the peeled and grated tomatoes and olives. The tomatoes add a fresh, tangy flavor, and the olives add a savory, salty touch. 7. Finalizing the preparation Remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is lightly browned. Check periodically and, if necessary, you can add a little water to maintain moisture. 8. Serving Once the chicken is ready, remove it from the oven and sprinkle finely chopped parsley on top for a touch of freshness. This dish goes perfectly with mashed potatoes, but can also be served with a green salad or rice. Practical tips - Choice of olives: You can use green olives for a sweeter taste or black olives for a salty contrast. Make sure they are pitted to avoid unpleasantness. - Tomatoes: If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use tomatoes canned in their own juice. These are a great alternative and cook quickly. - White Wine: Choose a quality dry wine as it enhances the overall flavor of the dish. The wine adds a touch of acidity that balances the flavors. - Veget Vegetarian: For a vegetarian option, you can replace the chicken with tofu or mushrooms, which absorb the flavors of the marinade just as well.
