The fragrant herbs and foods from Provence, like garlic, tomatoes, olives, and capers, are used to add flavor to the French chicken dish Poulet de Provencal.

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup black olives, pitted
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C

Add salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the chicken thighs

Warm up the olive oil in a big skillet that can go in the oven over medium-high heat

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan and season them

Cook for about 5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown

Turn the chicken thighs over and add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan

Bring it to a boil again

Spread the black olives, capers, and cherry tomatoes out around the chicken in the pan

Place the skillet in an oven that has already been heated up

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear
