Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°.
Step 2: Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Massage lemon rind into the chicken. Place the chicken in the pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from the pan; keep warm.
Step 3: Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add the leak and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 15 minutes or until the leek begins to brown, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
Step 4: Remove pan from heat; stir in lemon juice and honey. Return the chicken to the pan. Mound the leeks on top of the chicken thighs. Bake chicken at 400° for 15 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165°. Top with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
