Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (approximately 1.25 pounds)
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and smoked paprika.
- Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 2 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add red onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until just softened.
- Add artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the pan bottom.
- Return chicken thighs skin-side up to the skillet. Sprinkle with lemon zest.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the chicken dry for a better sear.
- Use low-sodium broth to control sodium levels.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried herbs if necessary.
