Preheat oven to 375°. Season both sides of chicken thighs with pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in oven-safe 5-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, brown chicken thighs, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, then remove from pot. Cook in batches if necessary.
Add remaining olive oil to pot with onion; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell peppers, carrot, mushroom and thyme. Stir and cook additional 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened.
Add wine and stir well, scraping bottom of pot to release browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes. Add remaining salt, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes. Place browned chicken pieces on top, then cover with tight-fitting lid.
Bake 45 minutes. Add olives to pot, re-cover and cook additional 15 minutes or until chicken shreds with a fork. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Serve meal over pasta, rice, or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
