Ingredients
- 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs 3 pounds*, fat trimmed and patted dry with paper towel
- 1 ½ teaspoons paprika divided
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper divided
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large red onion peeled, quartered, and sliced into ½” pieces
- 2 medium zucchinis sliced into ½” semi-circles
- ¼ cup kalamata olives pitted and roughly chopped
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes 12 ounces
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons capers drained
- 2 teaspoons honey
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley divided
Instructions
- Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 ½ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Add olive oil to a large-wide skillet (or 3.3 Qt Dutch oven) over medium heat. Add chicken to the pan, skin-side facing down, and cook for about 7 minutes until the skin is golden and slightly crisped. Flip the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a plate.
- To the now-empty skillet, add red onion and zucchini. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until slightly tender.
- Add the olives, tomatoes, garlic, wine, broth, lemon juice, oregano, capers, honey, half of the parsley, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, remaining ⅛ teaspoon pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon paprika. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Use your spoon to scrape off any browned bits at the bottom of the pan and mix them into the sauce.
- Return chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer for 23-25 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through (registering at least 165°F on an instant-read thermometer).
- Uncover the pan, remove the chicken from the pan, and simmer the sauce for an additional 10 minutes to help reduce and slightly thicken it. Return the chicken back to the pan.
- Garnish with remaining parsley and lemon slices before serving.

Notes
- Serve with sliced lemon as garnish! I like to slice lemon wedges and grill them on a cast iron griddle for 2 minutes per side to give them a beautiful char.
- This recipe makes extra delicious liquidy sauce, so you can spoon it over rice or quinoa!
- You can use boneless skinless chicken breast as well. Just reduce the cooking time to 15-20 minutes, being careful not to overcook it.
- You can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth if that’s what you have in your kitchen!
- I use 6 garlic cloves as a good middle-ground amount but feel free to use more (10-12 cloves or less (3-4 cloves) depending on your garlic preference. I’d always use more, personally!
- Don’t have parsley? Feel free to swap with cilantro or dill. It will change the flavor, but still be super delicious!
- This recipe is tested with Diamond Crystals Kosher salt. If using sea salt, reduce the amount to 1 ½ teaspoons total since sea salt is more potent. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon and add ½ tsp to the sauce mixture.
- Red onion: Feel free to use 3 medium shallots instead if you prefer!
- Zucchini: Feel free to use a combination of zucchini and peppers, or use part asparagus or another veggie that you love!
- If one doesn’t have ⅛ teaspoon, that is just a small pinch.
