Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven on medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches as needed, place chicken in pot, skin-side down. Cook until well-browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from pot; set aside on large plate.
- Drain excess oil from pot, reserving about 1 tablespoon drippings. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, on medium heat until browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add wine, stirring to scrape up browned bits from bottom of pot.
- Stir in chicken stock, tomatoes, tomato paste, and herbes de Provence. Nestle chicken into cooking liquid, adding any remaining juices from plate. Increase heat to high. Bring to simmer. Cover and transfer to oven.
- Braise until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to serving platter and tent with foil.
- Return pot to stovetop on high heat. Stir in lemon zest. Bring to boil; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to about 2 cups. Stir in olives. Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve with crusty French bread and whipped or roasted potatoes. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.
