Chicken Thighs Braised in White Wine
Martha Stewart
Prep: 15 minutes Total: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients
Serves 4.
* 8 bone-in skinless chicken thighs (about 2 3/4 pounds)
* Coarse salt and ground pepper
* 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
* 1 cup dry white wine
* 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1 lemon, cut into 8 thin slices, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into pieces
* 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
* Cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Directions
1. In a 12-inch skillet with a tight-fitting lid, arrange thighs, bone side up; season with salt and pepper. Add garlic, wine, and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook, 30 minutes.
2. Turn chicken over. Place a lemon slice on each piece; cover and continue simmering until tender, about 15 minutes. Leaving garlic and liquid in skillet, transfer chicken and lemon slices to a platter. Cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
3. Bring liquid in skillet to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add butter, parsley, and lemon juice; stir until butter has softened and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with sauce and, if desired, rice.
