Steps:
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels; season all over with salt. Arrange skin side down in a cold large cast-iron skillet. Set over medium heat and cook chicken, undisturbed, rotating pan as needed for even browning, until skin is very deep golden brown and crisp and chicken releases easily from pan, 13-16 minutes. Using tongs, transfer chicken to a plate, arranging skin side up.
- Combine tomatoes, harissa paste, vinegar, 1 oregano sprig, and ½ tsp. salt in same skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and their juices start to thicken, 8-10 minutes.
- Nestle chicken thighs into tomatoes, skin side up. Reduce heat to medium-low, bring to a simmer, and cook until chicken is just cooked through and flesh is no longer pink (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part near the bone will register 165°F), and tomato sauce is thickened so that a wooden spoon dragged through it leaves a trail, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes.
- Break feta into large pieces; scatter over chicken. Some pieces will stay intact while others will soften into the sauce a little-and that's exactly what you want. Pick leaves off remaining 2 oregano sprigs and scatter on top.
- Serve with bread for sopping up any extra tomato sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degree F. Heat a large, high-sided, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the skin side of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to the hot pan and place the chicken in the pan, skin-side down. Sprinkle the other side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Let the chicken cook until it easily releases from the pan and is golden brown, about 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion, peppers and red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt. Let the vegetables cook, stirring regularly, until slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. The natural liquid from the vegetables will help deglaze the pan. Add in the potatoes and garlic and sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 3 minutes. Add in the tomatoes, vinegar, oregano, thyme and artichoke hearts. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and nestle the chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F and the potatoes are fork tender, about 35 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese and parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the onion, garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, pepper flakes, 2 Tablespoons of herbs and 1 teaspoon salt; toss until everything's nicely mixed. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt (and pepper if you'd like) to taste.
- Arrange the chicken thighs on two heavy rimmed baking sheets, with space between the chicken pieces. Distribute the tomato mixture and any juices around the chicken so it's in an even layer but not covering the chicken.
- Roast until the chicken is totally tender when pierced with a knife (or reaches 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 35 to 45 minutes. During roasting, check that the tomato mixture isn't burning. You want the vegetables to release juices, collapse and brown slightly but not to burn onto the pan. If they're getting too dark, pour in a few spoonfuls of water or chicken broth.
- When the chicken is done, transfer to serving platter. Put a large sieve/colander/strainer over a bowl and very carefully scrape the tomato mixture into the sieve. Make sure you catch all of the juices, which are delicious. If there are browned juices on the baking sheets, deglaze them by pouring a bit of water or chicken broth or reserved juices, and scraping to dissolve. Add this liquid to the vegetable juices in the bowl.
- After the vegetables drain for a few minutes, arrange on the chicken platter as an accompaniment. Sprinkle everything with the remaining 1 tablespoon herbs and serve. pass a bowl of the juices at the table to drizzle over the chicken and vegetables. Or refrigerate them for use in another recipe if you'd like, such as soup.
- To reserve leftovers: Pour the vegetable juices into a measuring cup, cover and refrigerate (the fat will solidify on the top for easy removal the next day) Depending on appetites, you should have a bout 4 thighs left over, wrap and refrigerate , along with the reserved tomato mixture.

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH TOMATO, ORZO, OLIVES, AND FETA RECIPE
Provided by á-4084

Steps:
- First, toast the orzo. It's a bit of a pain, but it really improves the flavor. Heat a large skillet or a Dutch oven if you're so inclined (I find a reason to use my Staub cocotte for everything) over medium-high heat. Toast the orzo until it is lightly browned, but before it gets too fragrant. Spoon the orzo into a bowl and set aside. Next up is the chicken. Pat the thighs dry and season with oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet or Dutch oven on medium-high heat until it is nice and hot and beginning to smoke. Brown the chicken for roughly three minutes on each side, then remove it and set it aside. Turn the heat down a notch and add in the other tablespoon of oil and the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it. Then pour in the broth and throw in the tomatoes and orzo. Give the mixture a good stir and bring it to a boil. Finally, add the chicken back in, cover the skillet/Dutch oven, and let it sit on medium-low heat until the orzo is tender and the chicken is cooked through. This will take 15 minutes or so. Be sure to check on the dish from time to time as you don't want the orzo to become mushy and overcooked. When ready, turn off the heat and add in the capers, Kalamata olives, feta, and basil. Top it all off with a drizzle of nice finishing oil, give it another good stir or two and you're ready to serve!
Tips:
- Choose flavorful chicken thighs. Look for chicken thighs that are plump and have a good amount of fat. This will help ensure that they stay moist and juicy during cooking.
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for this recipe, as they are firm and have a sweet flavor. You can also use cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, if you prefer.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the chicken and vegetables. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Season the chicken and vegetables generously. This will help them develop a flavorful crust.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken thighs are best when cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature before removing the chicken from the oven.
Conclusion:
This roasted chicken thighs with tomatoes, olives, and feta is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are roasted to perfection, and the feta cheese adds a salty and creamy touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
