步骤

For the Chicken

Season the chicken thighs all over with the seasonings.

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Add chicken thighs, top down and turn the heat down to medium. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes on one side, watching for signs of over browning, reduce heat to low-medium if needed. (Refer to our post on how to cook chicken in a pan for the easiest way to know if the chicken is cooked without cutting into it or a thermometer.)

Flip the chicken over, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 5 more minutes until cooked through, 165 degrees internal temperature.

Remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate to rest.

Make the Rice

Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan. Add half of the halved grape tomatoes, garlic, turmeric, and oregano, and ½ -1 teaspoon of salt. Cook the tomatoes on medium heat for about 2 minutes until beginning to soften and burst.

Stir in the fresh spinach, cooked rice, sun dried tomatoes, zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice as well as the remaining uncooked halved grape tomatoes. Increase the heat to medium heat, stirring to combine. If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little oil. While cooking, move onto the topping.

Prepare the Topping

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the feta with 1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 Tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, oregano, dill, and parsley and the olives. Gently toss to coat.

Mix half of the feta mixture into the skillet with lemon rice. Slice the chicken on a cutting board and arrange on top of the entire mixture. Allow to heat with a lid on for about 2 minutes.

Top with the remaining feta mixture and sprinkle fresh herbs on top as garnish.
