Wine-Braised Chicken Thigh with Garlic and Herbs

A tender and flavorful chicken thigh braised slowly in white wine with garlic and fresh herbs. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.

Steps

1. Season the chicken thigh generously with salt and pepper. 2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. 3. Add chicken thigh skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes. 4. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes. 5. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. 6. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. 7. Pour in white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. 8. Add rosemary and thyme sprigs. 9. Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. 10. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender. 11. Remove chicken and herbs from skillet. 12. Stir butter into the sauce to thicken and add shine. 13. Serve chicken topped with the wine sauce.
