First, here are the ingredients you will need for this recipe:
If you’re looking to make your own chicken stock, Garten’shomemade versionis a classic, but using store-bought will keep this recipe simple.
While the chicken is cooking, heat your butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet. Add in the chopped onion and leeks and sauté the veggies for 5 to 7 minutes. After adding your chicken stock and wine and letting it simmer for 5 minutes, whisk in the crème fraîche, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper, occasionally tasting for seasoning.
Once the chicken is out of the oven, fit each thigh into the pan on top of the creamy sauce. Nestle in your lemon slices in between the chicken thighs and top everything off with the fresh thyme before putting the whole skillet in the oven. Roast until 15 minutes and serve hot!
It’s really a simple recipe to follow, and we’re sure that you’ll be saving this chicken-dinner winner. Garten suggests adding cooked basmati rice or couscous for a satisfying side. We think a side salad or some veggies would also be a bright choice for this comforting meal, like ourFresh Asparagus-Tomato Salad,Lemon-Garlic Green Beansor ourSimple Sautéed Spinach.
