Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs bone-in and skin-on
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons herbes de provence
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes 1 can
- ½ cup chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added
- ½ cup green olives pitted
- 2 tablespoons capers rinsed and drained
- Zest of 1 lemon
- fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of herbes de Provence. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, then set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onion until soft. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until they start to soften and burst, releasing their juices.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Add chicken broth, olives, capers, and additional herbes de Provence. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 25-30 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, sprinkle lemon zest over the top. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving with a crusty baguette, pasta, polenta or a green salad.

Notes
- If you're using boneless chicken thighs, reduce the cooking time slightly to avoid drying them out.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the white wine with additional chicken broth and a splash of lemon juice.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and herbs to suit your taste.
- The dish can be made ahead and refrigerated, as the flavors deepen and meld beautifully overnight.
- Serve with your choice of side—bread, pasta, or a fresh salad complements this dish wonderfully.
