These tender chicken thighs are pan fried until golden then finished in the oven with salty olives, crispy pancetta, aromatic rosemary and zesty lemon.

      Enjoyed this but had to make some changes because of what we had on hand: used capers instead of olives, our thighs were skinless. Also doubled the recipe - super good and will make again. The onions are missing from the ingredient list so we just used about one small, thinly sliced yellow onion.
