Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop peppers, onions, olives, and tomatoes, and smash and peel garlic. Mix together onion powder, oregano, basil, and salt. Pat the chicken dry on both sides. Lightly salt the skin side of the chicken.

Step 2

In a preheated cast iron skillet on medium heat, sear the chicken on the skin side about 5-8 min, until skin is golden brown and crispy. Season the other side with the seasoning mix, reserving any extra for later. Flip to the other side and sear 2-3 minutes until developing a browned crust. Remove pan from heat. Add in peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, garlic, green olives, and Kalamata olives to the skillet, tucking some under the chicken thighs. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over.

Step 3

Bake at 400°F for 40 minutes.
