Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken skin-side down until deeply golden, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Flip chicken. Add sliced red onion around the pan; sauté until softened, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in oregano and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Pour in tomatoes with their juice, olives, vinegar, and lemon juice.

Bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered 8–10 minutes until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt. Scatter lemon zest on top. Serve hot with rice or bread.
