👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensuring the chicken is dry helps achieve a better sear. - 2
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces, skin-side down first, until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer and reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Kalamata olives. Add the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The herbs will infuse their aroma into the sauce. - 6
Return the seared chicken pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Ensure the chicken is partially submerged.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This allows the chicken to braise evenly. - 7
Cover the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- 8
Remove from oven. Discard the herb sprigs. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can marinate the chicken in lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before searing.
- ✓If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the sauce and chicken to a baking dish before placing it in the oven.
- ✓Adjust the amount of olives and lemon to your preference.
