A quick and flavorful one-pan chicken dish featuring crispy skin-on chicken thighs, marinated artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for a comforting spring dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g)
  • 1 jar (~12 oz / 340 g) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and halved
  • ½ cup (about 40 g) sun-dried tomatoes, preferably packed in oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • Juice of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup (120 ml) chicken broth
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Dry the chicken thighs thoroughly with paper towels.
  3. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and half the chopped thyme. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Place chicken skin-side down in the skillet and cook without moving for 6-8 minutes until skin is golden and crisp.
  6. Flip the chicken and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
  7. Remove the chicken to a plate, leaving oil and drippings in the pan.
  8. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  9. Add artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring to coat in oil and garlic; cook for about 2 minutes.
  10. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
  11. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side up. Sprinkle remaining thyme and optional red pepper flakes over everything.
  12. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature and artichokes are tender.
  13. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  14. Serve warm, spooning artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes over the chicken.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. If chicken skin isn’t crisping enough, finish under broiler for 1-2 minutes. If sauce is too thin, simmer on stovetop after roasting to reduce. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwave.
