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.
