Juicy chicken thighs, meat briny olives, and toothsome wheat berries come together perfectly in this flavorful dish. Thin slices of lemon are layered underneath the chicken and slow cooked until tender; the entire slice, peel and all, can be eaten. Slow cooking the chicken for over two hours ensures it is tender and infused with flavor. The pan liquid is then used to season the wheat berries for a pop of flavor in every bite.
