1. Marinate Red Onion
Combine thinly sliced red onion with fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside to marinate.
2. Sear Chicken
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
3. Cook Olives and Sumac
Add crushed olives and ground sumac to the skillet with a splash of water to deglaze. Cook until liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.

Return chicken to the skillet with olives, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until flavors meld.
