Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1.5 - 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Artichoke Hearts 12-ounce jar, packed in oil, undrained
  • 1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed olives
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

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.
