Lightly fry until fragrant, then pour in the vermouth. Sprinkle with tomatoes, olives, and a bunch of oregano. Add the chicken broth, season with salt and pepper.
- Move the pan to indirect heat and cover. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), 15–20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Discard the oregano. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
