Ingredients
2 pounds
chicken thighs (bone-in and skin-on)
Salt & pepper
2 tablespoons
Olive oil (divided)
1 pint
Grape or cherry tomatoes
2 cloves
Garlic (minced)
1/2 cup

Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt & pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (keep the pieces evenly spaced) and cook for 12 minutes on one side, then turn the pieces over and cook for 7 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a paper towel lined plate. Heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat, then add the tomatoes and some salt & pepper. Stir to coat, then cook stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cook for 2 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and stir in most of the chopped basil.
- Serve the chicken topped with the tomatoes, garlic, cooked basil, and remaining basil.
