He asked for seconds! Right there, you know it’s going to be a great chicken dish. The chicken was moist and flavorful, tomatoes made it saucy, olives and cheese were salty and briny, and herbs and lemon brightened it all up. Plus, it all came together in fewer than 15 minutes.
Although the tomatoes made it saucy enough, I did squeeze the roasted lemons atop the finished dish, which added some zing.
During prep, I chopped the oregano and thyme after placing the other ingredients in the roasting pan, then sprinkled them over top, before placing the dish in the oven. This saved dirtying an extra bowl.
Since it’s only the two of us, I purchased a smaller package of chicken thighs (2.25 lbs, which was 4 thighs.) Served it with mashed potatoes, green peas, and homemade scallion cheese bread. A delicious meal. I would make this again.
