MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN (Other method)

INGREDIENTS:

CHICKEN MARINADE:

• 1/3 cup Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp Sea salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 2 lb Boneless skinless chicken thighs

ASSEMBLY:

• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 medium Roma tomatoes (diced)
• 1/3 cup Black olives (sliced)
• 2 tbsp Red onions (diced)
• 1/4 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil (cut into ribbons)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for the marinade. Add the chicken thighs and move around to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off excess marinade from the chicken thighs and place them in a single layer on the skillet. Sear for 5-6 minutes per side (reduce heat if the chicken browns too much), until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
3. Top the chicken with tomatoes, olives, onions, crumbled feta, and basil ribbons, in that order.
