Ingredients
- 6-8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin on)
- salt Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives pitted, black

- 1/2 tablespoon butter

Instructions
- Wash the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towel.

- In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken.
- Brown on both sides, until nicely golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. You may have to do these a few at a time, that's ok.
- Add the mushrooms and onions to the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, remove and set aside.
- Turn up the heat, and add the wine/wine to deglaze the pan and let it reduce for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth.
- Add back the mushrooms and onions. Then add tomatoes, tomato paste, green pepper, olives, and garlic; simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the pan, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes or until they reach 185 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the butter. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
