Martini Chicken

2 TBSP olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 TSP salt
1/2 TSP pepper
2 TBSP butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup gin
1 TSP dry vermouth
Juice of half a lemon
1/4 cup quality whole green olives

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper, and cook in skillet for about 5 minutes on each side.

2. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the garlic and butter to the pan. Sauté for three minutes, then add the gin, vermouth, lemon juice and olives. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken’s juices run clear.
