Chicken with olives and tomatoes is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines tender meat with rich tomato sauce and the piquant taste of olives. The roots of this recipe trace back to Mediterranean traditions, where fresh ingredients and simple yet harmonious flavor combinations take center stage.
