Description

Juicy chicken thighs are seared until golden, then braised in a bright, aromatic broth of white wine, lemon, garlic, and olives for a simple yet elegant one-pan meal.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pitted green olives
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes, then remove from skillet.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth, lemon slices, olives, and thyme. Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Garnish with parsley before serving.
