Add the onion and tomato to the pan you cooked the chicken in.Reduce the heat and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent and the tomatoes soften and release liquid.

Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Add the olives and basil and simmer on low for 5 to 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and feels firm to the touch.
