Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Scatter the lemon slices and olives around the chicken.
  6. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the skillet, avoiding the chicken skin.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp.
  8. Let the chicken rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving directly from the skillet.

Notes

  • For extra brightness, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the finished dish.
  • If you prefer boneless, skinless chicken, reduce the baking time by about 10 minutes.
  • Serve this dish with crusty bread to soak up the delicious pan juices.
