Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to brown the chicken thighs well before adding the wine and broth. This will help to develop a rich, deep flavor in the dish.
- Use a good quality dry white wine for the best results. A Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay would work well in this recipe.
- Be sure to let the chicken thighs simmer in the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the white wine and chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken thighs back to the skillet, skin-side up.
5. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
6. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken thighs to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
7. Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer the sauce over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
8. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
9. Serve the chicken thighs with the creamy wine sauce spooned over the top.
