⏱ 40 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, bone in, or 8 thighs
• 3 tbsp olive oil, plus 1/3 cup for the dressing
• 1 cup green olives, pitted and crushed
• 1 shallot, finely diced
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp chopped oregano
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 425F. Rub the chicken with 3 tbsp oil and season well.
2. Roast 35 to 40 minutes until the skin is browned and it reads 165F.
3. Crush the olives with the flat of a knife rather than chopping them, so they stay in rough pieces.
4. Combine with the shallot, vinegar, oregano, chili and the 1/3 cup oil. Let it sit while the chicken cooks.
5. Spoon the dressing over the chicken as it comes out of the oven.
