Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
Kosher salt
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
1 lemon (1/2 quartered and seeded; 1/2 juiced)
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs (4 to 6), cut into 2-inch pieces
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon oregano; cook 30 seconds.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook, turning once, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon oregano and cook, stirring, until the garlic is softened, about 10 seconds. Add the lemon juice and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by about half and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
