Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted can substitute with black olives
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brown them skin-side down for about 5 minutes until golden.
  • Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 4 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme; sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add cherry tomatoes and olives; cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes start to soften.
  • Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread or over cooked rice.

Notes

For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 2 hours before cooking.
