I had all the ingredients on hand and was pleasantly surprised how quickly and easily they went together. This is being added to our favorites. We used sliced sourdough to pick up the delicious pan sauce straight out of the pan.

This chicken is delicious. The rub was quick to make. I made the recipe as directed, using a cast iron skillet. The skin was crispy and the combination of the garlic, olives and tomatoes was sensational. I served it with a tomato, cucumber, onion salad. Definitely adding to the rotation.
