Chicken provencal is a flavorful French braised chicken recipe. Seasoned chicken thighs are first seared then braised in white wine with olives, shallots, garlic, artichoke hearts, and cherry tomatoes. It's easy to make and perfect for meal prep as leftovers taste amazing.
Season the chicken thighs with the Herbs de Provence, sea salt, and pepper.
8 chicken thighs, 2 tablespoons Herbs de Provence, 1 teaspoon EACH: sea salt and pepper
Heat the olive oil in a braising pan, high-sided skillet, or large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side up, and let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Flip them over and cook them until the skin is golden, about 5 minutes more.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Turn the chicken pieces so they are skin side up. Scatter the olives, cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, garlic cloves, and shallots around the chicken then pour the wine into the pot.
1 cup pitted green olives, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, 1 head garlic, 6 medium shallots, 1 cup dry white wine
Put a lid on the pot then put it into the oven to braise for 45 minutes.
