Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all ingredients. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them. Mince the garlic cloves. Rinse and chop the fresh basil.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Capers

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes and capers to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

  4. 6

    Combine Chicken and Broth

    Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and add black olives. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  6. 8

    Finish with Basil

    Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the chopped fresh basil and red pepper flakes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
