Chef's Notes
Castelvetrano olives are the buttery gold standard here—do not substitute them with overly bitter black olives unless you want to wage war on your own palate.
Pro Tip
When scraping the bottom of the Dutch oven after adding the olive brine, never use metal utensils unless you want to weep over your scratched cookware.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Crowding the Dutch oven during the searing phase turns your gorgeous chicken into a sad, gray, boiled tragedy swimming in its own tears.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
