Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs (or breasts) dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet and sear the chicken skin-side down for about 5–6 minutes.
  4. Flip the chicken and sear for another 2 minutes, then set aside.
  5. Sauté sliced shallots in the skillet for approximately 2 minutes until soft and translucent.
  6. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, dry white wine, Dijon mustard, and fresh herbs.
  7. Nestle the seared chicken back into the skillet and spoon sauce over it.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the chicken for 18–20 minutes until cooked through.
  9. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Serve the Lemon Shallot Chicken straight from the skillet, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
