Hi! I’m Susan

I’m from The Girl In The Little Red Kitchen and I’m so happy to be here guest posting today at Noshing With The Nolands! Tara is such an incredible blogger and a wonderful person, with her request for a spring-time recipe this week, I was more than happy to oblige.

With the first day of spring last week, this was the perfect time for a light, simple dish that takes no time to put together! I love braising chicken thighs, it’s a quick weeknight meal, and you can’t beat the crisp skin and juicy interior. Best part, it’s nearly impossible to overcook chicken thighs, especially when you have a flavorful liquid to cook it in!

The addition of artichokes, lemons, olives and feta just screams spring to me. Don’t you agree?

• Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season them on both sides with the za'atar, salt and pepper.
