Fall is in the air, and Chicken Provencal is on the menu.
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

½ head garlic, cloves separated but unpeeled

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper and herbes de Provence.
Pour the olive oil into an iron skillet. Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet, and surround it with the lemon, shallots, garlic cloves, olives and sundried tomatoes.
