Creating this indulgent Skillet Mediterranean Chicken is both easy and enjoyable. Follow these steps to bring this wonderful dish to life:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot but not smoking.

3. Sear the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Turn the chicken over and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

4. Add Aromatics: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, oregano, and thyme. Stir well to combine, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly.

6. Add the Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to mix in all the flavors. Bring it to a simmer.

7. Return the Chicken: Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the dish to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

8. Finish Cooking: Once the chicken is cooked, uncover the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly if desired.

9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

These simple steps will guide you in creating an incredible Skillet Mediterranean Chicken that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
