Make
- Heat oven to 375F / 191C degrees.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. When oil is hot, sear chicken until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Return skillet to heat and reduce to medium heat. Add pancetta and onion. Saute until onion is soft, ~3 minutes. Add vinegar and scrape up any dark bits in the bottom of the pan. Add stock, rosemary and artichoke hearts and bring to a simmer. Return chicken thighs to pan, cover with a lid and simmer until chicken is cooked through, ~8 minutes (internal temperature will be 165F / 74C). Discard rosemary sprigs and squeeze lemon juice over top.
- While chicken cooks, place bread, cut-side up onto a sheet pan. Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve chicken with pan sauce spooned over top and garlic bread on the side. Enjoy!

Yum! The only thing I didn't like was the small portion. Will make more chicken next time.
0 HelpfulI didn't make the garlic bread, but instead paired with noodles. It felt like a gourmet Italian dish! So much flavor! My husband wants me t chop some mushrooms and add a little wilted spinach next time. We also added a little Parmesan cheese on top.
0 HelpfulNext time I'll include a side of broccoli or other veggies. Very tasty and smelled absolutely amazing while cooking.
0 HelpfulMade the original but converted it to gluten free with gf garlic bread. Next time I would try to thicken up the sauce to make it more of a gravy. Flavor was great.
