Step One
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
Place chicken in the hot pan in a single layer and cook until browned (about 2 minutes). Flip the chicken and allow the second side to brown.
Step Two
Add the remaining ingredients and bring the artichoke liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and allow to simmer until a meat thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the meat indicates an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (about 8-10 minutes).
Note: You are going to add the entire jar of artichokes - instead of making our own Greek marinade, we're utilizing the oil in the jar as a shortcut.
