Description

A bright and savory one-pan chicken dish featuring tender chicken thighs simmered with artichokes, olives, and fresh lemon in a garlic-herb broth.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet. Add artichoke hearts, olives, and lemon slices. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
