Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the seared chicken to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried oregano to the onions and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Transfer this mixture to the crock pot.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes and their juice over the chicken in the crock pot. Stir in the chicken broth, Kalamata olives, and capers.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
Before serving, sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant garnish.
Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
