Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Generously salt and pepper the chicken on both sides.

Step 3

In a large oven-proof skillet with high sides and a lid, melt the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and brown well on both sides, especially the skin side (don't skip this step!). Remove from the pan to a plate, and set aside.

Step 4

Add in all the garlic, shallots and herbs of choice to the pan and sauté until the shallots become limp; about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the wine, lemon juice and chicken broth to the pan and stir to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and add the chicken thighs back to the pan.

Step 6

Place the lid on the pan and put the pan in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken thighs reaches 160-165 degrees (it will continue to cook when removed from the oven).

Step 7

Remove chicken from the skillet. Serve with the juice and crusty bread.

Delicious and easy. I served it with steamed rice to soak up the sauce. I used tarragon and thyme for the herbs, Will be making this again.
