A chicken thigh simmered with artichoke hearts, red onion, and Kalamata olives, topped with feta.

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless skinless chicken thigh (4–6 ounces)
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large artichoke hearts (2 ounces) halved lengthwise
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons sliced pitted Kalamata olives
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta

Directions

  • Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes per side, then move it to a plate and cover it.
  • Add the artichokes and red onion to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, adding a little oil if the pan is dry. Stir in the garlic and oregano and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Put the chicken back in, add the broth and olives, and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn the heat down, and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover and cook 2 minutes more, until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Put the chicken and vegetables on a plate and sprinkle with the feta.
