Pour olive oil into a pan and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Remove the garlic clove from the pan after sautéing to avoid a strong garlic taste.

Add the chicken thighs skin side down to the pan and brown them until golden, flipping as needed.

Add spicy pepper flakes to taste and continue flipping the chicken until golden brown.

Pour white wine over the chicken and let the alcohol evaporate until the smell dissipates.

Add diced capers and sliced olives to the pan.

Mix tomato paste with water and add it to the pan along with grape tomatoes.

Season with salt, adding a big pinch and flipping the chicken to coat it evenly.

Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low to let it simmer for about 30 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure it doesn't dry out and adding water if necessary.

After about 15 minutes, check the chicken and flip it again, ensuring the sauce is thickening and the tomatoes are soft.

Taste the sauce and adjust the salt as needed, basting the chicken with the sauce.
