Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs skin on and boneless
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 4 anchovy fillets
  • 2.5 cups tomatoes chopped
  • ½ cup black olives pitted
  • 2 tablespoon capers chopped
  • ¼ cup basil chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400° F.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a cloth or paper towel. Season both sides of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin down in a cold, oven safe skillet. Place on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook for 15 minutes, without touching the chicken until the skin is crispy and brown.
  • Turn the chicken over and add the garlic and anchovies. Mash the anchovies into a paste then add the tomatoes, olives, and capers, being careful not to cover the chicken. Place the skillet in the oven to cook for an additional 15-18 minutes, untils the tomatoes are starting to breakdown.
  • To serve, garnish the chicken with basil and serve with salad, pasta, or on a sandwich.
