Tools

A board, a knife, a non stick large pan with a lid to cook the chicken in.

 

Instructions:

Chop the garlic then lightly brown it in a pan with the sprig of rosemary and 4 to 5 tablespoons of oil.

As soon as the garlic and the rosemary start to release their flavour, add the finely chopped vegetables, and fry them for a few minutes over medium heat. 

Add the chicken pieces and brown them over high heat. 

Pour the wine and let it evaporate. Let wine evaporate.

Add the tomato and the olives, cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for about half an hour to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the meat.
