  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (boneless or skinless may be used)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 12 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise
  • 3 shallots, quartered
  • 1 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup roughly chopped artichoke hearts, optional
  • 1 tablespoon herbs de provence
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • Fresh thyme, finely minced; optional
  • Fresh lemon wedges, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel.
  2. Season the chicken thighs evenly and generously with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a Dutch oven or braising pan, heat the oil and add the chicken skin-side down, searing for 3-4 minutes until golden.
  4. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and shallots around the chicken in the pan.
  6. Sprinkle herbs de Provence over the entire mixture.
  7. Pour the wine into the pan along the sides to avoid washing off herbs.
  8. Cover the pan and roast in the oven for 40 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven, uncover the pan, and baste the chicken with pan juices.
  10. Add in tomatoes, olives, and optional artichokes; roast uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until tomatoes soften and chicken skin is crispy, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  11. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  12. Spoon some of the broth over the chicken and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, sourdough bread, or a vegetable side.

Notes
