Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 8
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, and the sauce has slightly reduced.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
