Poulet En Sauce for A Cozy Evening

🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2.5 lbs)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (or extra broth)
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin-side down and cook 5-6 minutes until golden and crisp. Flip and cook 4 more minutes, then transfer to a plate.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter and add onion and mushrooms. Sauté 5-7 minutes until softened and browned. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.
4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Pour in wine and broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add thyme and bring to a simmer.
5. Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened. Garnish with parsley and serve.
