Brown the chicken in the hot skillet, turning only once, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a platter, loosely cover and keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
• Add the onion and tomato to the pan you cooked the chicken in.Reduce the heat and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent and the tomatoes soften and release liquid.

• Nestle chicken thighs into tomatoes, skin side up. Reduce heat to medium-low, bring to a simmer, and cook until chicken is just cooked through and flesh is no longer pink (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part near the bone will register 165°F), and tomato sauce is thickened so that a wooden spoon dragged through it leaves a trail, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes.
• Break feta into large pieces; scatter over chicken. Some pieces will stay intact while others will soften into the sauce a little-and that's exactly what you want. Pick leaves off remaining 2 oregano sprigs and scatter on top.
