Chicken with Lemons Olives Capers

Chicken Thighs with Capers, Lemons, and Olives is a main course dish that is easy to prepare in a single pan. This low-carb recipe is good enough for a special dinner but easy enough for a week-night meal! 

Chicken with Lemons Olives Capers

This Chicken with Lemons Olives Capers gets its taste from the briny olives and capers. The charred lemon slices add a bright, smoky flavor that’s really hard to beat. While the chicken thighs might be the center of this one-pan meal, the olives and capers are a great compliment to the dish overall.

Not to be outdone, the lemons create a perfectly fragrant base of caramelized bits to fry the chicken in.  And, it’s ready in just about half an hour. This Chicken with Lemons Olives Capers is a wonderful dish.

I use pitted olives because it is so much easier to not have to pit them.  And don’t forget to cut your chicken thighs in half!
