Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut three slits into the top of each breast, just breaking the skin. Season them heavily with the salt and pepper.
Pour the oil into an iron skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. When it's nice and hot place the chicken breasts in skin side down. Cook for 8 minutes.
Flip the breasts over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the inside is about 165°F.
Remove the chicken and set aside.
Pour off all but 1/2 tablespoon of the fat and place the skillet over high heat.
Add the vermouth and the bay leaf.
Let it reduce by 2/3rds, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped olives and capers and cook for another minute.
Turn off the heat, pour in the lemon juice and add the parsley. Stir until combined.
Serve the sauce over the chicken breasts.
