Oven-Braised Chicken Thighs with Fennel and Castelvetrano Olives

"This recipe is infinitely variable. It can serve as a stand-alone stew with a side of crusty bread or a sauce over noodles, rice, or potatoes. I follow a paleo diet and serve it on zucchini noodles with a side of broccoli raab cooked with anchovy, garlic, and lemon. The sweetness of the onions and fennel counters the bitterness of the broccoli raab beautifully."
