Chicken thigh with olives
The best part of this dish is the olives. I love olives in sauce, they’re soft and soak up all the flavors of the sauce, and the chicken also add their own amazing flavor.
I recommend serving this with white rice to soak up all the flavors. This dish makes a great lunch or supper. So yummy!
