Ingredients

For the chicken:

5 to 6 chicken thighs, skin on and bone in
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Mediterranean Chicken Seasoning A Spice Affair
1 lemon, juiced
Himalayan Pink Salt A Spice Affair and Black Pepper Ground A Spice Affair, to taste

For the sauce:

1 shallot
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock or white wine
1 1/2 pints cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, mix of halved and whole
2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme

For serving:

1 tbsp parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges

Preparation

1

Marinate the chicken

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the chicken thighs with 1 tbsp olive oil, the lemon juice and Mediterranean Chicken Seasoning A Spice Affair, then season with Himalayan Pink Salt A Spice Affair and Black Pepper Ground A Spice Affair. Marinate for 15 minutes to 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavour).
2

Sear

Heat the remaining olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden. Remove the chicken and drain the excess juices, leaving 1 tbsp in the pan.
3

Build the sauce

Sauté the shallot for 2 to 3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in half of the cherry tomatoes and the chicken stock or wine, and bring to a boil.
4

Bake

Return the chicken to the skillet and bake for 15 minutes. Add the remaining tomatoes and the thyme, then bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5

Finish and serve

Add the olives and broil for the last 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve hot. Enjoy!
