Sicillian Chicken

OK my sister-in-law gave me this one and it is amazing!

* Ingredients

* 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup dry white wine
* 1/2 cup sliced Sicilian olives
* 1/4 cup golden raisins
* 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced no-salt-added tomatoes, undrained
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil


Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap;
pound each breast half to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or heavy
skillet. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place flour in a
shallow dish; dredge chicken in flour. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes on
each side or until lightly browned. Add wine; cook 1 minute. Add olives and the
next 4 ingredients (through tomatoes); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer
8 minutes or until chicken is done. Sprinkle with basil.


FYI: I usually double the diced tomatoes so that there is more sauce to go
around!
