Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest (use your microplane)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, plus 1 more tablespoon for garnish
salt
fresh ground pepper
4 chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
12 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup pitted green olives, rinsed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425?.
  • Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, 2 tablespoons rosemary and a dash of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Put the chicken in an oven-proof skillet. (a 10-inch cast iron skillet works well). Pour the lemon/herb mixture over the chicken.
  • Add the garlic cloves to the pan and distribute as evenly as possible.
  • Roast for about 40 minutes, until the chicken is done.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and cook on the stovetop over medium heat for a couple of minutes, scraping up the tasty cooked bits from the bottom of the pan.
