Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Once shimmering, lay chicken skin-side down without moving it.
Step 3
Sear skin-side down 6 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook 4 minutes more until cooked through.
Step 4
Push chicken to the side. Add garlic to the empty space and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add tomatoes and stir gently.
Step 6
Simmer 3 minutes until tomatoes soften and sauce reduces slightly. Stir in lemon zest and parsley. Serve hot.
