Marinate the chicken with lemon juice and olives. Season it to suit your taste and bake. Have this beautifully browned chicken without creating a mess in the kitchen.
Heat oven to 400° F. Season the chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the chicken until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. To the skillet, add the lemon slices and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Mix in the olives and serve over the chicken.
