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.
