Pan-Seared Chicken and Green Olive Rollatini

  1. Place each chicken breast between 2 layers of plastic and pound to a 1/2-inch thickness.
  2. Transfer to a large plate.
  3. Cover the chicken and refrigerate.
  4. Melt the butter in a medium skillet.
  5. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened and browned, about 20 minutes.
  6. Add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet to keep the onion from sticking.
  7. Transfer to a small bowl and add the olives, rosemary and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  8. Let cool completely.
  9. Lay the chicken, skin side down, on a work surface and season with salt and pepper.
  10. Spread one-quarter of the filling on each breast, leaving a 1-inch border all around.
  11. Separate the skin from the meat.
  12. Roll up the meat; wrap the skin around the meat to enclose it.
  13. Tie each roll in 3 places with cotton kitchen string.
  14. Preheat the oven to 375.
  15. Heat the oil in a large skillet until shimmering.
  16. Season the chicken with salt and cook over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 10 minutes.
  17. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reaches 135.
  18. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then discard the string.
  19. Slice the chicken diagonally 1/2 inch thick.
  20. Meanwhile, set the large skillet over high heat.
  21. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits.
  22. Add the tomatoes and any accumulated chicken juices and cook, stirring, just until heated through, about 4 minutes.
  23. Spoon the tomatoes onto individual plates and arrange the chicken on top.
