1 tsp. olive oilÂ
1 1/2 C. sliced onionÂ
1 T. minced garlicÂ
1 green bell pepper, thinly slicedÂ
1 yellow bell pepper, thinly slicedÂ
10 whole nicoise olives or 5 pitted black olives, choppedÂ

Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until softened. Add the olives, fennel, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Place the chicken in a shallow baking dish and arrange in a single layer. Drizzle with the vinegar and sprinkle with the black pepper. Spoon the vegetable mixture over the chicken. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
