How to Make Skillet Chicken with Crushed Olives and Sumac

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.

4. Simmer Chicken with Olives

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

5. Garnish and Serve

Place chicken and olives on a serving platter. Top with marinated red onions and fresh herbs.
