MEDITERRANEAN-INSPIRED CHICKEN THIGHS

Mediterranean-Inspired Chicken Thighs image

This delightful dish is a snap to start on the stovetop and finish in the oven. A handful of fresh ingredients combine for a big burst of Mediterranean-inspired flavor. Excellent when served with Herbed Cauliflower Rice (on this site) and fresh green beans or a salad.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, or more to taste
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 medium lemon, cut into 6 wedges
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, to the hot oil. Sear until skin is browned and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and drain excess fat from the skillet.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add chicken broth, 2 lemon wedges, and rosemary sprigs. Reserve remaining lemon wedges for serving. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
Cover skillet and place in the preheated oven. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Remove from the oven and squeeze juice from the 2 hot lemon wedges over the chicken. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional lemon wedges.
