From the Test Kitchen

A simple olive tapenade—a favorite Provençal condiment—adds irresistibly briny flavor to our pan-seared chicken, which also gets a layer of aromatic flavor from a coating of dried oregano. It’s perfect for serving atop a bed of tender orzo (a rice-shaped pasta) mixed with tangy feta and crisp snap peas.

Tips from Home Chefs

Oregano Chicken & Spring Pea Orzo

Prepare the ingredients & make the tapenade
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the tapenade

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the snap peas. Pull off and discard the tough string that runs the length of each pea pod; halve the peas crosswise. Finely chop the olives. Peel 1 clove of garlic; Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. In a bowl, combine the chopped olives, half the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

2 Cook the chicken

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the oregano. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165°F for chicken.

In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved peas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Turn off the heat.
