Steps

Transfer everything to an oven-safe dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Tips for Mediterranean Olive Chicken

Look for an evenly browned surface before baking; the olives should stay plump rather than shrivel.
A skillet that is too hot can scorch the garlic quickly, so keep an eye on it once it is added.
Rest the chicken briefly after baking so the juices settle and the breast is easier to slice neatly.
