Brown the chicken in the olive oil. Use a large pan and do not try to
do the whole batch at once. Remove the chicken from the pan and drain
most of the oil. Saute the garlic and onions until limp. Add the
tomatoes and the drained olives and saute until tomatoes are soft.
Add the pepper, oregano, wine and the chicken. Cover and simmer until
the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Taste for salt. You should
use very little as the olives are salty.
