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:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
