When searing the chicken for this flavorful potluck dish, work in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Crowding creates steam that will make the crispy skin soggy. This recipe comes from TV chef Sarah Mastracco.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; working in batches, add chicken to skillet, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn chicken and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to a large baking dish.
- Drain oil from pan and return to medium heat. Add white wine to deglaze and use a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan. Whisk in red-wine vinegar, mustard, light-brown sugar, and dates; simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together remaining tablespoon olive oil, thyme, olives, capers, and cherry tomatoes; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the peppers and onion on a big baking tray with half the oil. Transfer to the oven and cook on the top shelf for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, carefully make a pocket between the skin and the flesh of each chicken breast, but don't pull off the skin completely. Push equal amounts of cheese under the skin, smooth the skin back down, brush it with the rest of the oil, season, then add to the tray along with the tomatoes and olives. Return to the oven and cook for 25-30 mins more until the chicken is golden and cooked. Serve with baked potatoes, if you like.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a deep, lidded roasting pan or an oval 8-qt. dutch oven with 1 teaspoons oil. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, oregano, remaining 3 teaspoons of oil, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine. Tuck the wing tips under the back. Put the chicken into the pan and add the broth, vinegar, and olives. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover and bake 1 hour, then scatter the potatoes and prunes around the chicken. Cover and bake 30 - 45 minutes longer, stirring the potatoes once, until the drumsticks move easily, the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced with a sharp knife and the potatoes are tender.
- With a slotted spoon or spoons, remove the chicken, potatoes, prunes and olives to a deep serving platter. Pour the liquid left in the pan into a 4-cup measure. Skim off and discard the fat. Serve the juices with the chicken.

Tips:
- Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs: They're more flavorful and juicy than boneless, skinless breasts.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish: The chicken and vegetables should be in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help the chicken brown and crisp.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade or olive oil during cooking: This will help keep it moist.
- Serve the chicken with a side of rice, potatoes, or bread: This will help soak up the delicious juices.
Conclusion:
This Mediterranean-style chicken bake is a flavorful and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy meal, give this recipe a try!
