olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a similar flavor profile and a higher smoke point.

💰Cheaper: canned black olives

Kalamata olives offer a richer flavor, while canned black olives are more budget-friendly.

chicken broth

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter.

Return the chicken to the skillet and mix well with the sauce.
