Technique to learn

Braising

Searing meat at high heat and then slowly cooking it covered in liquid to build deep flavor and tenderize the meat.

Instructions

Step 1: Season chicken thighs generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear chicken skin-side down until golden brown, about 6 minutes, then flip and sear for 3 minutes before transferring to a plate.
Step 3: Lower heat to medium, add sliced onion and garlic to the skillet, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

Step 4: Stir in tomato paste and herbes de Provence, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Pour in halal chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6: Return chicken thighs skin-side up along with the olives, cover, and braise on low heat for 25 minutes until chicken is tender and reaches 74°C (165°F).

Cooking tips

Serve with warm crusty bread or boiled yellow potatoes to soak up the aromatic broth.
Be sure to scrape up the caramelized brown bits at the bottom of the skillet when adding the stock for maximum flavor depth.
