Ingredients
- 4 large chicken thigh, skin removed before cooking
- 2 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon, chopped thyme, fresh
- 1 teaspoon gourmet collection smoked paprika by mccormick
- ½ medium – 2 1/2" diameter x 2 3/4" red bell peppers, raw
- ½ medium – 2 1/2" diameter x 2 3/4" yellow bell peppers, raw
- ½ small red onion
- ½ cup black olives
- ¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large casserole dish/dutch oven over a medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned all over.
- Whilst the chicken browns, finely slice the peppers and the onions and slice the olives and garlic in half. Add the vegetables and olives to a mixing bowl along with the paprika, thyme and remaining olive oil. Toss well to combine.
- Arrange the vegetable and olive mix in the bottom of an oven proof dish and add in the browned chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper and mix everything together.
- Transfer to the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through so that the chicken is coated in the juices. The chicken should be golden and completely cooked through.
