Description

A one-pan Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring golden chicken thighs simmered with briny green olives, tender marinated artichokes, and a lemony herb sauce. This Double-Duty Chicken not only shines at dinner but transforms into delicious leftovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 large Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 jar (12 oz) Marinated Artichoke Hearts, drained and halved
  • 1/2 cup Green Olives, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme or Oregano
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  3. Add olive oil to the skillet and sear chicken skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add sliced onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth.
  5. Stir in artichokes, olives, lemon juice, and herbs. Nestle chicken back into the pan.
  6. Cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes, then uncover and simmer 5 more minutes to thicken sauce.

Notes

  • Use marinated artichokes for extra flavor depth.
  • Add red pepper flakes for gentle heat.
  • Serve with rice, polenta, or crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.
