The olive oil-rich food of Provence is often reminiscent of Spanish or Italian flavours. This crowd-pleasing one-pan chicken couldn’t be simpler.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thigh cutlets, bone in and skin on

  • salt and pepper, to season

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • ½ cup white wine

  • 1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges

  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and bruised

  • 15 cherry tomatoes

  • ½ cup green olives

  • 1 tbsp baby capers

  • 1 lemon, cut into large chunks with the skin on

  • 1 tbsp Herbes de Provence, or other mixed herbs

  • fresh baguette, to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat your oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional). On the stovetop, heat a large, heavy frying pan (preferably double-handled). Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Add the oil and fry skin-down until the skin is golden brown.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the chicken from the pan and add the wine. Bring to a simmer, then return the chicken to the pan skin-up. Place the onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers and lemon pieces all around the chicken. Scatter with the herbs and season again with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer to the oven and bake for 40 minutes uncovered, then remove from the oven and serve with thick slices of baguette.
