Instructions

In a shallow dish, place the flour and season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then dredge them in the seasoned flour. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, approximately 3 minutes per side. Pour in the chicken broth.
Add the potatoes, pickles, carrots, black olives (with their juice), and pickle juice to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender and the chicken thighs are fully cooked, about 40 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) by using an instant-read thermometer near the bone.
