Wash 2 pounds chicken pieces and pat dry with a paper towel. Season liberally with salt and pepper as desired.
In a large ovenproof skillet, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat until browned on both sides. Add 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 4 ounces sliced olives (drained) and 3 tablespoons capers (drained).
Bake, uncovered, at 475°F for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Serve with couscous or rice.
Notes
For chicken that cooks evenly, choose thin cutlets or pound the breasts to an even thickness and cut into 6 pieces of similar size.For an easy side, serve Mediterranean Chicken with Capers over plain or seasoned couscous.
