Golden Chicken Thighs with Artichokes
This delicious and hearty dish features bone-in chicken thighs paired with artichokes in a savory sauce. Perfect for a family dinner!
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen artichoke hearts or 1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season both sides with ½ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add half of the chicken skin-side down and cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 minutes until the skin is deeply golden.
- Flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken, cooking for 3 to 5 minutes per side.
- Add the sliced shallot to the pan and cook over medium heat until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the artichokes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, stirring to loosen any brown bits, then let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and Dijon mustard, whisking to combine. Bring to a boil and season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through (165°F on an instant-read thermometer), about 20 minutes.
- Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
