INGREDIENTS

Black olives 250 grams

Chicken 1 kg( breast pieces)                                       

Onion 5

Garlic 15-20 pods.

Chilly flakes 5 TSP

Rosemary 1 tsp

Oregano 1 tsp

Thyme 1 tsp

2 lemons

5-7tsp of butter

I tbsp olive oil for marination

1 tsp of garlic paste

Salt and sugar according to your taste

PROCEDURE

1)Marinated the chicken with lemon juice, olive oil, chilly flakes,1 tsp of garlic paste, salt and 1 tsp of sugar.. I have kept it overnight

2) take the vessel and heat 5 TSP of butter. Fry the onions till brown. Then add the garlic pieces and fry for another minute or two.

3) now add the marinated chicken and cook for 15 minutes in high flame with a led....you can add a cup of water here.

  4) Open the led and add the herbs( rosemary, thyme and oregano)and the olives.

If you want you can add some more butter here..mix very well and stir it for a minute so that the flavour of herbs and olives mixes with the chicken.

5) Now cover and cook in medium flame for another 10 minutes so that the smell of olives gets absorbed in the chicken.

Cook till the gravy gets dry and sticks to the chicken.while serving toss some garlic butter from the top.

Enjoy this with spaghetti or cheese bread.
