Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken thighs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano, red pepper flakes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
