Ingredients

• 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 1 cups chicken broth
• 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts (drained and quartered)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4–5 minutes until they are golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 3–4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the same pan. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 2–3 minutes and reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth, artichoke hearts, dried thyme, paprika, and lemon juice to the pan. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the seared chicken thighs to the pan, placing them skin-side up. Ensure the liquid only comes halfway up the sides of the chicken; adjust with more broth if needed.

Step 9

Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken simmer gently for 30 minutes until it is cooked through and tender.

Step 10

Uncover the pan and stir in the butter to enrich the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with rice, crusty bread, or potatoes to soak up the sauce.
