Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 pound slab or thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (preferably brown ale)
1 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
1/2 pound small red-skinned new potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off the excess. Add the olive oil to the drippings in the pot. Add the chicken in batches and cook over medium-high heat until golden on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, then flip and sear the other side, about 1 minute.
  • Add the beer, onions, potatoes, mustard, sugar, thyme and 1 cup water to the pot and stir, making sure the chicken is fully submerged. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Discard the thyme and stir in the bacon and parsley.

Tips:

  • Sear the chicken thighs before braising. This will help to brown the chicken and give it a delicious flavor.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will add different flavors and textures to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful beer. The beer will add flavor to the braising liquid, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the chicken thighs for at least 1 hour. This will allow the chicken to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Beer-braised chicken thighs with mushrooms are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the mushrooms are flavorful and earthy. The braising liquid is rich and flavorful, and it makes a great sauce for the chicken and vegetables. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
