Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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 cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and softened.

Step 4

Add the sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives to the skillet. Stir well to combine, then pour in the white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes before adding the chicken broth, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 7

Uncover the skillet and let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables.
