- 1/2 cup low-sodium or no-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup pitted green olives
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained

Instructions
- Brown Chicken: Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Sauté onion in the same skillet until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with lemon zest and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a crusty baguette, pasta, polenta, or a green salad.

- Non-Alcoholic: Substitute white wine with extra broth and lemon juice.
- Customize: Adjust garlic and herbs to your preference.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dish in advance and refrigerate; flavors will deepen overnight.
