Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425˚F.

2

Trim chicken thighs and cut into large bite-size pieces, about 2-inches. Rub with the minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.

3

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the No. 12 Skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. (Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the skillet). Remove chicken to a plate.

4

Add red onion, cherry tomatoes, and chili flakes to the skillet and cook until onions soften and tomatoes just start to burst. Stir in orzo and lightly toast, about 2 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, then stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then carefully transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook until liquid is absorbed and chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and add feta, dill, parsley, and olives. Serve with additional red pepper flakes to taste.
