Mediterranean Braised dish Chicken Summer Family Cast iron

Imagine: chicken slowly cooking in white wine, surrounded by olives, garlic and lemon. That's exactly what this recipe delivers — Mediterranean flavors right at home in your own kitchen. A cast-iron braising pan is the ideal tool for this, as it distributes heat evenly and keeps everything nicely warm. Just put it in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves.

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a splash of olive oil in the braising pan over medium heat. Brown the thighs skin-side down until golden, about 5 minutes. Turn and brown another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same fat, sweat the sliced onion over low heat until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Deglaze with the white wine and scrape the browned bits from the bottom. Add the chicken stock, the thinly sliced lemon, the olives, the thyme and the rosemary.
Return the chicken thighs to the pan. Bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat and put the lid on. Braise the chicken 35 to 40 minutes on low until fully cooked and tender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice. Scatter freshly chopped parsley over the dish.
Serve straight from the pan with crusty bread, couscous or roasted baby potatoes.
