Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers.
Step 3
Sear chicken 2 minutes per side without moving. Don't worry if it's not cooked through.
Step 4
Pour in crushed tomatoes, half the red onion (thinly sliced), oregano, and lemon juice. Stir once.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, until chicken is tender and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
Dice cucumber and remaining red onion. Toss with lemon zest, 1 tbsp olive oil, and salt. Serve alongside chicken.
