In a large cast iron skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil on medium-high. Brown the chicken on both sides.
Add the white wine and let reduce by ½ then add the lemon juice and chicken broth. Sprinkle the remaining oregano on top. Uncover and top with the chopped onions, tomatoes and olives. Cover again and cook for only 3 minutes or so.
