Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw taste.
Slowly pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Add the chicken broth, fresh rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and nestle the artichoke hearts around the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread or over a bed of rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorful sauce.
