Step 1: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme, then sear skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Step 2: Flip the chicken thighs and add minced garlic, cooking for another 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover, cooking for an additional 15 minutes until cooked through.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the drained artichokes, heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest. Blend until smooth, then season with salt and pepper. Warm through before serving.
Step 4: Plate the artichoke purée as a base, top with the chicken thighs, and garnish with additional thyme and lemon zest for presentation.
