Chicken with Olives and Sage

I love the simplicity of this meal....


Ingredients:
- 4 chicken marylands (section of chicken consisting of leg and thigh)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
- small handful sage leaves
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup green Sicilian olives, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup olive oil  





- Flour, for coating the chicken

Method:
 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large wide saucepan or casserole dish suitable for oven use, over a medium heat. Mix the flour with a bit of salt, coat the chicken pieces well and sear in a little butter until browned.
3. Add the garlic cloves and sage leaves and cook for a couple more minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the wine, olive oil, olives and transfer the dish to the hot oven. Cook for 30-40 minutes.
5. Serve the chicken pieces with olive and sage braising liquid.
