Ingredients

  • 5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 Tbsp Kosher salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 2 Tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 2 cups shallots, peeled and halves
  • 2 cups red grapes
  • 1 cup kalamata olives
  • 3 large rosemary sprigs

Instructions

  • Season the chicken. Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp Kosher salt, 2 tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp black pepper. Season the chicken thighs generously on all sides.
  • Sear the chicken. Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron or heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, then cook for 5-6 minutes per side.
  • Add the liquid. While chicken is cooking, combine ½ cup white wine (if using), ½ cup chicken stock, and 2 Tbsp sherry vinegar. When chicken is browned on both sides, pour the liquid into the pan.
  • Roast with remaining ingredients. Scatter 2 cups shallots, 2 cups grapes, 1 cup kalamata olives, and 3 sprigs of rosemary on top, then bake for 15 minutes, or until juices run clear. Serve immediately.
