Yep, Olives are a fruit. Makes sense, really, but because they are more salty, than sweet, you may not readily think of them as fruit. But the beauty of these little guys is how healthy they are and how much of a flavor punch they pack.

Let’s start with the healthy benefits. Yes, they are high in fat, but it’s a good oleic fat that has been linked to decreased inflammation and a reduced risk of heart disease. They are also a good source of vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. For more on the health benefits of Olives, check out this article from HeathLine.com.

And they taste Damn Good! A little bit of chopped olives can go a long way to bring a sauce, sandwich, salad, or vegetables to a whole new flavor level. Try Olives in this AMAZING Creamy Olive Pimiento Dip.

Time-Saving Prep for Creamy Olive Chicken

To prep this dish ahead, you really just need to make the creamy olive sauce. Start by rough chopping the green olives with pimiento. I like to chop them into pretty fine pieces so that the flavor really mixes through the sauce.

Finely slice the scallions. Mince the garlic. HACK: When you buy a head of garlic, mince all of the cloves at once and then freeze the minced garlic, so you always have it on hand! For more Freezer Hacks to make meal prep easier, download this FREE FREEZER HACK SHEET!

Cooking Your Creamy Olive Chicken

Cooking this dinner could not be easier as it’s baked in the oven! Simply place the chicken breasts in a casserole dish coated with extra virgin olive oil. I love to use the Sonica Organics Oil Sprayer for coating pans with olive oil because a little goes a long way and it’s non-aerosol (no toxins and propellants) and is so easy to pump, then spray.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Then cook in preheated 400 F degree oven for 15 minutes.

After the chicken has cooked for 15 minutes, remove the chicken and spread the olive sauce all over the top. Put the chicken back in the 400 degree oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the sauce turns a beautiful golden brown and the internal temp of the chicken reaches 165 F.
