• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on

DIRECTIONS :

6. Add thyme, garlic, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Sauté for about a minute or just until aromatic. Add flour, then whisk and cook for a minute to remove the raw taste.
7. Stir in the wine, then scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it.
8. Add heavy cream and chicken stock, then stir to combine.
9. Put the chicken thighs back into the skillet with the sauce, then toss to coat.
