Steps

1. Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper. 2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. 3. Sear the chicken thigh, skin side down, until golden brown (about 5 minutes), then flip and brown the other side for 3 minutes. 4. Remove chicken and set aside. 5. In the same skillet, add shallot and garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent. 6. Pour in red wine and chicken broth, scraping the pan to deglaze. 7. Add thyme and bay leaf. 8. Return chicken to the skillet, skin side up. 9. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender. 10. Remove chicken and herbs, increase heat to reduce sauce slightly. 11. Serve chicken with sauce spooned over, garnished with fresh parsley.
