- 1 -2 tablespoon water (if needed)
- 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)

- Add the chicken and cook until well browned on one side, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until the thickest part of the breast registers 160 to 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 6 to 8 minutes longer.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, tent loosely with foil, and let rest while making the sauce.
- Add 2 more teaspoons of the oil (if needed) and the garlic to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the tomatoes and olives, scraping up any browned bits.
- (If necessary, add enough of the water to help loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.)
- Cook until the tomatoes are just softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in any accumulated chicken juices and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Off the heat, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and pour the tomatoes over the chicken.
