Ingredients:

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Crumbled feta cheese (for serving)

Steps:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
    • Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
  3. Make the Marinade:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika.
  4. Marinate the Chicken:
    • Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag.
    • Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. Sear the Chicken:
    • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken thighs and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add Remaining Ingredients:
    • Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, around the chicken thighs.
    • Scatter the Kalamata olives and chopped sun-dried tomatoes around the chicken thighs.
  7. Bake:
    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  8. Serve:
    • Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven.
    • Garnish the chicken thighs with chopped fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese.
    • Serve hot, either directly from the skillet or transfer to a serving platter.
