Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, halved
  • 3 large shallots, diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 lb baby gold potatoes, halved
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add mushrooms, shallots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up browned bits.
  • Add chicken stock, potatoes, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Return chicken to the skillet.
  • Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the stovetop before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute the white wine with dry sherry or brandy.
  • Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
