INGREDIENTS :
- 3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Italian seasoning (divided)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 3-4 thyme sprigs (leaves only)
- 1 c. chicken stock
- ½ c. white wine
- ½ c. heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp flour for thickening the sauce
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. In the meantime, season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side-down, and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat until the first side is brown. Flip the chicken thighs and sear the other side for about 4 minutes. Set the chicken aside when done.
Step 3: In the same pan, add 2 tbsp butter. Add the onion and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Next, add the chopped garlic along with the thyme and 1 tsp seasoning. Cook for a minute more.
Step 4: In the oil in the pan, add 1 tbsp flour and cook for just 1 minute until the flour is no longer white. Gradually pour in the wine, adjust the heat to high, and cook for a couple of minutes.
Step 5: Pour in the chicken stock and add the heavy cream. Mix well and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture has slightly reduced. Adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
Step 6: Place the chicken thighs back into the pan. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake the chicken thighs for about 35 minutes, uncovered.
Step 7: Remove the pan from the oven when the chicken is done. Garnish with some fresh thyme, and serve the chicken thighs right away with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or rice. Enjoy!
