Serves: 6-8 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. fresh herbs (I used a mix of thyme, rosemary, and sage)
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, finely shopped
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season on both sides with salt, pepper, and herbs. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add garlic and shallots. Cook until fragrant and translucent, which will only take a few minutes so don't let them burn! Then remove and set aside.
  4. To the same pan, place the chicken thighs, skin side down. cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, then use tongs to flip
  5. Add the shallot and garlic mixture back to the pan, along with the sliced apple. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice and roasted vegetables.
  7. Enjoy!
