Sicilian-Style Chicken Thighs
Basic QuinoaIngredients
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- ¾ tsp salt, divided
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 lb), skin removed
- 1 lb yellow potatoes, diced
- 4 medium carrots, diced
- 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup Castelvetrano olives, quartered
- 1 Tbsp capers, rinsed
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish, (optional)
Instructions
- Mash garlic with ¼ tsp salt with a fork to form a paste. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 1 Tbsp oil, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.
- Sprinkle chicken with ¼ tsp salt. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and top with the garlic mixture.
- Heat the remaining 2 Tbsp oil in the pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and carrots and the remaining ¼ tsp salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to brown and stick to the pan, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, wine, olives and capers; cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, for 1 minute.
- Nestle the chicken into the pan, cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part without touching the bone registers 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley, if desired.
Side Dish Ingredients

- 1 cup quinoa
Side Dish Instructions
- Combine water (or broth) and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
