Directions
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over med-high heat. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook, turning once, for about 6 minutes total, until seared and nicely browned. (work in 2 batches if need be so as not to overcrowd the pan) Remove the chicken to a plate and reserve.

To the same pan, add the onions, garlic and tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions and tomatoes are soft. Add the wine, broth and herbes de provence and bring mixture to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer uncovered, turning the chicken halfway through, for about 20 minutes, until the meat is very tender. While the chicken is simmering, cook the orzo for 5-6 minutes. Drain and add to the chicken, along with the olives. Let cook for about 1 more minute.
