Braised Chicken with Fennel and Olives
INGREDIENTS
4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
1 fennel bulb, sliced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup green olives, pitted
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh thyme sprigs
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add fennel, onions, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add olives and thyme sprigs.
Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
