1/2teaspoonblack pepper

Instructions
Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, sprinkle chicken with some salt and pepper and add to the hot pan, skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes until golden; flip and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, and carrot, to the pan drippings; sauté for about 4 minutes until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
Add in the wine and allow to evaporate.
Stir in the tomatoes (along with their juices), pearl onions, and the pepper.
Return chicken to the skillet (skin side up), nestled in the tomato and vegetable mixture.
Cover skillet, reduce heat to a gentle simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Stir in the vinegar and olives; warm through. Taste and season with a pinch more salt and pepper, if desired.
Enjoy hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Or serve with a slice of rustic bread to mop of the sauce. Some low carb recommendations are included in the article.
Notes
Replace the red wine. The alcohol completely cooks off leaving only wonderful bold flavor, but if you're opposed to using it, simply replace it with low-sodium chicken broth. (Keep in mind that the overall dish will not be as flavorful.)
