Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and dried oregano to the onions, and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the onion and tomato mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top. Cover again for 2-3 minutes to allow the feta to soften slightly.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh oregano or parsley if desired and serve the Greek chicken hot, accompanied by crusty bread, rice, or a fresh green salad.
