8 chicken thighs on the bone, skin-on
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt
6 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
20 ounces canned chopped tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock or white wine or combo
2 sprigs thyme
handfull of chopped Italian parsley
Orzo or rice for serving
Optional add-ons:
onion
sweet peppers
carrots
celery
black olives
red pepper flakes

1
Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry. Season them liberally on all sides with salt.
2
Heat the olive oil in large, heavy saute pan with high sides over medium heat. Brown the chicken thighs on both sides in two batches, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and keep warm.
3
Pour off all but about a tablespoon of fat in the pan. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until you can smell it, about a minute. (Don't let it burn.)
4
Add the canned tomatoes, chicken stock and a large pinch of salt, and turn the heat up until the liquid comes to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon as they loosen.
5
Add the thyme and parsley and then nestle the chicken thighs, skin-side-up in the sauce. Partially cover the pan and turn down the heat so that the sauce is simmering gently. Cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
6
If the sauce is thin, transfer the chicken to a clean plate and keep warm while you turn up the heat for a few minutes so that the sauce simmers and thickens a bit. Don't let it cook down too much -- you want this to be pretty saucy. Return the chicken to the sauce and heat through before serving over orzo or rice.
