Directions
In a non-stick fry pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add chicken; cover and cook, turning, for about 10 minutes until the pieces are brown on all sides.
Remove the chicken from the pan; set aside.
To the drippings in the pan, add onion, peppers, and garlic; cook stirring about 5 minutes or until slightly tender.
Add tomatoes, vinegar and red pepper flakes.
Heat mixture to boiling; reduce heat and simmer until mixture is slightly thick (about five minutes).
Stir in the olives, salt and pepper.
Return chicken to the pan; spoon sauce over chicken and cook about 20 minutes or until the chicken is glazed and fork tender.
Arrange the chicken on a serving platter.
Spoon the vegetable mixture over the chicken.
Sprinkle with pine nuts. Garnish with Basil sprigs.
