Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the seasoned potatoes in an even layer. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
Spread the artichoke hearts and lemon slices over the potatoes, then pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth into the pan.
Nestle the chicken thighs on top of the vegetable mixture, skin-side up.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken thighs with the roasted potatoes, artichokes, and lemon slices, drizzling any pan juices over the top. Enjoy!
