Linguine with White Truffle Oil & Lemon Olive Chicken

Found another way to make use of my white truffle oil! A simple carbonara style pasta infused with some truffle oil and a Mediterranean  style braised chicken to complete the meal :D

Lemon & Olive Chicken
Ingredient

• 4 bone-in chicken breast halves
• salt & pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup green olives, pitted and halved
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method

1. Rub salt & pepper evenly all over chicken. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and sear chicken, skin side down first, until golden brown about 3 mins on each side. Remove from fire.
2. Cut lemons in half lengthwise and slice thinly. 
3. In 1 tbsp oil in a pot, add onions and garlic and cook over medium heat until soft and fragrant.
4. Stir in lemon slices, olives and chicken breast and mix evenly.
5. Add in stock and bring to boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 15mins until chicken is cooked through.
