Greek Chicken Thighs
Report
My Greek Chicken Thighs dish hosts juicy chicken with crisp skin cooked with kalamata olives, pearl onions, garlic cloves, and lots of bright lemon. An easy one skillet dish, that everyone will love!
Share:
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs skin on and bone-in
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic peeled
- 8 ounce pearl onions peeled
- 5 prigs fresh thyme
- 2 lemons cut in thirds
- 1 cup kalamata olives pitted
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large 12 inch skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs in the skillet, and cook on both sides for about 5 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown. The chicken will not be cooked through at this point. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside for a few minutes.
- Add the garlic cloves, pearl onions, fresh thyme sprigs, and the lemon halves to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions and garlic begin to soften and start to brown a bit.
- Add the olives, then the white wine and lemon juice to the skillet. Add the chicken back to the skillet, arranging the chicken so that it sits directly on the bottom of the skillet.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes
- Adjusting Salt: If your kalamata olives are particularly salty, you might want to reduce the added salt. Taste and adjust accordingly.
- Fresh Herbs: If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. However, fresh herbs will give a brighter flavor.
- Pearl Onions: If you can't find pearl onions, you can use a regular onion cut into large chunks as a substitute.
- Freezing: This dish freezes well. Just allow it to cool down before transferring to airtight containers. Reheat in the oven or stovetop until warmed through.
- Garlic Lovers: Feel free to add more garlic for an extra punch. Roasted garlic adds a wonderful aroma and depth to the dish.
