Description
A delicious Herb Roasted Chicken in a creamy white wine sauce that is sure to delight your taste buds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and spoon some of the sauce over the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
- Add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
