Preparation steps
1.
In a large deep saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook chicken until it is browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
2.
Add garlic, shallots, and oregano and olives, saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook, scraping up all the browned bits, until liquid has almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
3.
Add broth and return chicken to the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and capers. Cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.
4.
Transfer chicken to 4 individual plates. Spoon vegetables and sauce over chicken. Garnish with oregano and shredded carrots. Serve.
