Description

A zesty, one-pan chicken dish bursting with Mediterranean flavors, featuring tender chicken thighs, tangy artichokes, briny olives, and a bright lemon-herb sauce.


Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear for 2 more minutes.
  3. Remove skillet from heat. Arrange artichoke hearts, olives, and lemon slices around the chicken. Pour chicken broth and lemon juice over the top.
  4. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  5. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
