Easy Roasted Chicken Thighs with Lemon and Oregano

Had this for dinner tonight and it was very good, a bit of work but nothing hardor time consuming.
I would double the sauce next time as I feel there was not enough, I do like alot/enough sauce when it is part of the dish.

Easy Roasted Chicken Thighs with Lemon and Oregano

Ingredients
1 lemon
4 large or 8 small skin-on -- boneless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil -- divided
3 sprigs oregano
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 garlic clove -- minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine -- (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Procedure
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Very thinly slice half of lemon; discard any seeds. Cut remaining lemon half into 2 wedges.

Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Coat a large room-temperature skillet with 1 teaspoon oil. Add chicken, skin side down. Place skillet over medium heat and cook, letting skin render and brown, and pouring off excess fat to maintain a thin coating in pan, until chicken is cooked halfway through, about 10 minutes.

Scatter half of lemon slices over chicken and half on bottom of skillet (the slices on top of the chicken will soften; those in the skillet will caramelize). Transfer skillet to oven, leaving chicken skin side down. Roast until chicken is cooked through, skin is crisp, and lemon slices on bottom of skillet are caramelized, 6-8 minutes.

Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, and caramelized lemon slices from bottom of skillet to a warm platter. (Leave softened lemon slices in the skillet.)

Return skillet to medium heat. Add oregano sprigs, shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat. Add wine; cook over medium heat until reduced by half, 1-2 minutes. Add broth; cook until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Squeeze 1 lemon wedge over and season sauce with salt, pepper, and juice from remaining lemon wedge, if desired. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil. Return chicken to skillet, skin side up, to rewarm.

Serve topped with caramelized lemon slices.

Sourdough Chicken Avocado Sandwich

Sourdough Chicken Avocado Sandwich

2 slices sourdough sandwich bread
1 chicken breast cutlet(skinned/boned) (or a large chicken breast
(skinned/boned) sliced in half to have 2 thinner pieces)
Avocado (can omit if you don’t care for avocado)
1 slice of pepper jack cheese, 2 if you get the thin slices
Chipotle Mayo, store bought or home made
Diced green chilies
Butter, softened
Ranch Dressing powder mix

Mix some of the dressing mix into the butter to your liking. Butter one side of each of the bread slices
and place buttered side down on a griddle or skillet.

Season chicken to your liking and place on indoor grill, this cooks really quick since it is thin.

Meanwhile, spread some of the mayo on one slice of the bread and then green chilies and then the
cheese on the slice that does not have the mayo on it and set the burner/heat to med./med high heat, add on enough avocado to cover the slice of bread that has the cheese on it and grill bread till toasted. Add the
cooked chicken to the bread half. Put the two pieces of bread and fixings’ together and cut in half and
devour. So good.
For you bacon lovers you can always add a couple pieces of bacon if you would like as everything is
always better with bacon.
