    How to Make Rustic Chicken Skillet with Olives and Capers

    1. Prep Chicken

    Pat chicken thighs dry. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Place chicken thighs skin-side down, and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until browned. Flip and brown other side for another 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

    2. Build Sauce

    Reduce heat to medium. Keep 2 tablespoons fat in pan; discard excess. Add onion; cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Incorporate garlic, anchovies, and red-pepper flakes, cooking until garlic is golden and anchovies dissolve, approximately 2 minutes.

    3. Develop Flavor

    Mix in tomato paste until it dissolves. Add crushed tomatoes with juices, scraping pan. Combine olives and capers. Return chicken to skillet, including any juices. Simmer 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked, adding water if sauce looks dry.

    4. Finish & Serve

    Adjust seasonings to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and optional oregano. Serve chicken with ample sauce.
