Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• ¼ cup gin
• ¼ cup sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
• 1 tablespoon dry vermouth

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium; add butter and garlic. Cook and stir mixture until garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Mix olives, gin, vermouth, and lemon juice into chicken mixture; simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
