Ingredients

  • 6 whole chicken thighs
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup pitted olives
  • 1 medium onion
  • 4 whole garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat dry 6 chicken thighs with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a large baking dish, toss 2 cups cherry tomatoes, 1 cup olives, 1 sliced onion, and 4 smashed garlic cloves with 2 tbsp olive oil. Spread evenly.

  3. 3

    Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side up. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

    Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Return to oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
