Place chicken on a plate lined with paper towels, and blot the top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides, and press to adhere.
Heat vegetable or avocado oil in a large oven safe pan over high heat. Once the oil is shimmering and the pan is hot, sear the chicken skin side down until it gets golden and crispy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the side of your pan.
Remove seared chicken to a plate, and add all remaining ingredients to the pan. Toss to combine. Nestle the chicken in between the veggies and olives.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Check to see that the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165 F before removing.
