Tasty, simple French cooking from the master. This is from his More Fast Food My Way. If you aren't familiar with his books, look for them. I love Fast Food My Way and Sweet Simplicity.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken thighs, bone in with skin
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 small onion, finely diced
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
10 ounces mushrooms, chopped into 1/2-inch dice
1/3 cup dry white wine
chives, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 175F.
  • Cut extra skin and fat off each thigh. Cut a 1/2 " slit into meat on either side of the bone, so that chicken will cook faster and evenly.
  • Season thighs with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper.
  • Place chicken into non-stick skillet, skin side down, on high heat.
  • When chicken starts to sizzle, cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 16-18 minutes. If browning too quickly after 10 minutes, reduce heat to low.
  • Transfer chicken, skin side up, to a heat proof platter and place in oven to keep warm. Pepin recommends keeping your serving plates in the oven so that they will be warm when you plate the chicken.
  • Remove all but 2 tbsp of fat from the skillet. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and white wine. If any liquid has accumulated on the platter in the oven, add that liquid to the pan.
  • Cook over high heat for 1 minute, to reduce the liquid a bit.
  • Divide the mushroom mixture between 4 plates. Place one piece of chicken on top and garnish with chives to serve.

I'm not a big fan of dark meat chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken thighs were so tender and juicy, I couldn't resist going back for seconds.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken thighs. I shredded the chicken and used it in tacos and enchiladas.

I found that the chicken thighs took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to add an extra 15 minutes to the cooking time.

The chicken thighs were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good.
