Olives are a no-brainer, straight ticket to bold flavor for me, so this chicken kind of just happened one Erev Shabbos. I knew it would be a winner, so I wrote it down immediately!
Directions
Prepare the Chicken Steaks
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each chicken steak. Smear tomato paste and basil on top. Place the chicken in a lined baking dish, then sprinkle with minced garlic, lemon zest, olives, and tomatoes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar on top.
3. Bake covered for one hour. Then raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) and bake uncovered for another hour.

the second hour at 450 uncovered = burnt dish. try 350.
Was delicious, will definitely make it again.
What’s a chicken steak???
Ask your butcher. Most places sell it or google it to see what it looks like.
This recipe was so good I’ll be making it again shortly!
