This one-pan chicken recipe may just become your new favorite weeknight dinner. This same cooking method can be used with a ton of different flavor combinations. One favorite is blistered tomato. Just swap the artichokes for 1 pint cherry tomatoes—or whatever ingredient you might be craving, fresh or frozen, including summer squash slices, butternut squash or potato cubes, and/or carrot coins.

Ingredients

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen artichoke hearts or 1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup unsalted chicken broth
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Juice from 1/2 lemon
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Pat chicken dry with a paper towel; season on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add half of the chicken skin-side down; cook undisturbed until the skin is deeply golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken, cooking for 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Once all of the chicken has been browned, add shallot to the pan; cook over medium heat until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add artichokes; cook, stirring, until starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour in wine to deglaze, stirring to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine come to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 2 minutes.
Add broth and mustard; whisk to combine, then bring to a boil. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper (or more to taste); return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up. Transfer the pan to the oven; bake until the chicken is cooked through (165°F on an instant-read thermometer), about 20 minutes.
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

To make ahead

Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Note

To repurpose leftovers, chop any remaining chicken and mix with the remaining artichokes, sauce and any cherry tomatoes or leftover cooked vegetables you have on hand. Place in small ramekins and top with mozzarella. Bake at 350°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
