INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season the chicken thighs or quarters evenly with salt and pepper.
- Heat avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer to a plate.
- Add onion slices to the pan and cook for 3 minutes until slightly translucent. Add garlic slices and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Medjool dates, olives, and wine, and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Add thyme and let everything come to a boil for 1 minute.
- Turn off heat, and add chicken back into the pan skin side up. Roast for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
- Spoon the liquid over the chicken and serve warm with rice and salad.
