Can you make this with chicken thighs?
Yes, if you have chicken thighs you can easily use them in this recipe. Be aware that chicken thighs take slightly longer to cook so increase the cooking time slightly. You can check that the chicken is cooked through by using an instant read thermometer which should register at 165°F.
How to Store and Reheat
This dish is best served as soon as it’s made, but any leftovers will keep well, covered in the fridge for 4 days. You can reheat the dish in the oven at 325°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Cover it with foil so that it doesn’t dry out.

How to make Mediterranean Chicken Step by Step
Season the chicken: Slice 2 chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sear the chicken: Heat 1 TBSP oil in a skillet. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until browned. It doesn’t need to cook all the way through, we’ll do that later! Once browned, remove the chicken and set aside. Make the sauce: Add 1 diced onion to the skillet and cook until translucent. Stir in a 12oz can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup halved kalamata olives, 1/2 cup white wine, 1 TBSP lemon juice, 1 TSP salt, 1 TSP Italian seasoning, 1 TSP garlic powder and 1 TSP granulated sugar. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally. Cook the chicken: Stir 1/2 cup chopped parsley into the sauce. Add the chicken back to the pan. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve: Serve your Mediterranean chicken with garnished like crumbled feta cheese and even more fresh parsley!
