Fresh Fast Flavorful!

Yesterday I made a yummy recipe from my 'Fresh Fast Flavorful' recipe book.
It's my Martha Stewart cookbook that I bought from (yet again) William-Sonoma. I love this recipe because it's pretty simple and also pretty healthy!
Chicken with Tomatoes, Olives, and Cilantro

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup pitted green olives, halved (I didn't pit them)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (or lemon)
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned and just cooked through, turning once, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil.

2. Raise heat to medium; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and olives; cook until tomatoes soften and release their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken topped with tomato mixture.
