Herbs de Provence

 Herbs de Provence, an essential component of French and Mediterranean cooking, is a mixture of dried herbs that adds a distinctive flavor to dishes. The herb blend can flavor a vinaigrette, be part of a steak rub, and contribute an earthy note to a tomato based sauces for chicken, fish, or meat. It can also be used to coat a skinless chicken breast along with olive oil and salt. Marinate for an hour or so, then grill. Or season skin-on chicken thighs the same way, then braise with white wine, tomatoes, and halved shallots.
