Instructions

Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season evenly with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tbsp chopped rosemary.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken skin-side down and sear for 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear 2 minutes more.
Step 3: Push chicken to one side of the skillet, add tomatoes, remaining rosemary, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook for 3 minutes until tomatoes begin to burst, then transfer skillet to a 400°F (200°C) oven and roast for 15-18 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
