Cook chicken:
a. In large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add chicken thighs, skin-side down. Cook until golden and crispy.

Chef's notes
If chicken isn't a preference, this marinade works beautifully with salmon. If you're cutting back on carbs, you can slim this down by trading the ciabatta for a low carb wrap.
