Ingredients

• 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and carrots. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to enhance its flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and dissolve any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves to the sauce.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Serve the chicken and sauce hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
