Creating Savory Chicken Stifado with Artichokes is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Brown the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cinnamon, allspice, oregano, and bay leaves. Mix well.
