Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉/200℃.
- Get your prep done before you start cooking: Combine the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
- Heat oil and butter over medium high in a large oven proof skillet or pan. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 2 minutes. Then reduce heat to medium and sear the thighs for 10 minutes. Move around from time to time to prevent from burning. Turn, and sear for 5 minutes. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Discard excess fat, if needed, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.

Simmer for 2 minutes, while stirring and scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in Parmesan, then add chickpeas and potatoes. Finally return chicken and its released juices to the skillet, placing the thighs skin-side up.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 320℉/160℃ for 20 minutes more. Enjoy!
