Ingredients

1 lbs Fingerling potatoes or baby or new or creamer
4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
5 shallots
4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup white wine or chicken broth
1/3 cup chicken broth
3-4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lbs asparagus
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup green olives
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
sea salt
pepper
1-2 lemons

Instructions

Precook your potatoes either 10 minutes in boiling water on the stove or 5 minutes on high pressure in the pressure cooker. Then season the chicken thighs generously with sea salt and pepper.
Preheat a larget pan over medium low heat and once hot add a drizzle of olive oil, then brown the seasoned chicken thighs 6-7 minutes per side or until nice and brown. remove from the pan and set aside.
Add whole shallots to the pan juices and brown 3-4 minutes, then add chopped garlic and sauté for just a few seconds. Add wine, broth, and thyme and deglaze the pan with a spatula or wooden spoon to remove all stuck-on bits and pieces and mix into the sauce.
Half all potatoes and place in one layer into the pan with the sauce and then place the browned chicken on top. Put on the lid, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, cut off the dry ends of the asparagus and cut the asparagus into about 2-inch pieces.
Add the asparagus, tomatoes, and olives into the pan to the chicken and potatoes and put the lid back on and let the vegetables steam for 10-15 minutes.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with a few leaves of fresh thyme if desired and serve.
Bonus: for extra crispy skin place the chicken thighs alone on a baking sheet right under the broiler for a minute or two.
