Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One 15-ounce can cannellini bean, rinsed and drained
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Fresh oregano for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook, until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the onions are soft, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir until it coats the onions and is a shade darker, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the broth, beans, tomatoes and oregano and bring to a boil. Nestle the chicken in the skillet along with any juices from the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
Transfer the chicken thighs to a platter. Stir the cheese into the bean mixture and season with salt and pepper and garnish with fresh oregano if using. Serve with the chicken and extra parmesan cheese for topping.
