Tips & Tricks (5)

Wine Selection Magic 🍷
Choose a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio to enhance the sauce's depth without overpowering the delicate chicken flavors.
Olive Brilliance 🫒
Use high-quality French Niçoise or Kalamata olives and slice them just before adding to preserve their rich, briny texture and prevent mushiness.
Herb Layering Technique 🌿
Toast your dried Herbes de Provence in the olive oil for 30 seconds before adding chicken to unlock their most intense aromatic compounds.
Skin Crispiness Hack 🔥
Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels and start skin-side down in a preheated cast-iron skillet to achieve perfect golden-brown crispy skin.
Tomato Ripeness Secret 🍅
Select vine-ripened cherry tomatoes at peak season and halve them just before cooking to maintain their burst of fresh flavor and prevent excess liquid.
