Chicken Provencal

A chicken dish that I have already loved with the whole family, the aroma that is left throughout the house is so appetizing that you will not have the patience to taste it.

You can take the mixture of Provence Herbs and ready-made at the store, or combine the spices yourself: thyme, rosemary, marjoram, basil, oregano - or at least 3 of them.

I took boneless and skinless thighs - you can also cook whole chicken pieces

Step by step
Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients - I fried kalamata olives with seeds (to remove the seeds, press the olive with a turned knife and notice that the seeds will come out very easily).
