4 bone-in chicken thighs, skinned
2 bone-in chicken breast halves, halved crosswise and skinned
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped, seeded plum tomato
1/2 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 3/4 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup ouzo (or brandy)
1 cup unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup sliced, pitted kalamata olives
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0.
2
Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add half of chicken to pan, flesh side down. Cook 4 minutes or until browned; remove from pan. Repeat with remaining chicken. Set chicken aside.
3
Add onion, tomato, bell pepper, and garlic to pan; cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine and ouzo; cook for 2 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return chicken to pan, flesh side up. Combine stock and flour in a bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add stock mixture to pan.
4
Stir in oregano, rosemary, and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Cover and bake at 325u00b0 for 45 minutes or until chicken is done and very tender. Remove pan from oven. Remove chicken from pan, and top with 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Keep warm. Heat pan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 3 cups. Add olives, butter, lemon juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring until butter melts. Discard bay leaf. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
