Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can medium pitted ripe olives, drained
¾ cup dry white wine
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano

Steps:

Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and saute until it begins to brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Place chicken thighs in the hot skillet with the nicer, more intact sides facing down. Sear for 2 minutes. Flip and sear the split sides for 2 minutes.
Add stewed tomatoes, olives, wine, and oregano. Reduce heat to medium-low (4 on a scale of 10), cover, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes.
