Season the chicken thighs generously with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the whole garlic cloves and sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden and aromatic.
Deglaze the pan with the dry white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the chicken stock, chopped roma tomatoes, and herbes de Provence. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or a side of roasted vegetables.
