- In the same pan cook the onions from the marinade over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring, until soft and golden.
- Pour in the marinade liquid, return the chicken, add the olives and half a glass of water, cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the onion sauce thick.
- Meanwhile rinse the rice and boil it in salted water for the time on the packet, until tender; drain.
- Serve the chicken with the onions and sauce over the rice.
