Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 pieces garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup green olives, pitted and halved
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the olives and rosemary, then return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Uncover the skillet and stir in the lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve the chicken with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up the sauce.
