Serving Size

• Serves 4 people

Ingredients

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
• 1 cup green olives, pitted
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.
   • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Chicken:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Flip the chicken thighs and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Cook the Aromatics:
   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium.
   • Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Combine and Roast:
   • Add the grapes, olives, and lemon zest to the skillet and stir to combine.
   • Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them into the grape and olive mixture.
   • Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
   • Roast until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear, about 25-30 minutes.
5. Final Touches:
   • Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
   • Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
