Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Carrots, diced
• 2 Celery stalks, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 4 cups Sourdough bread, cut into cubes
• 0.25 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, frozen peas, thyme leaves, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Step 9

Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 10

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sourdough bread, shredded parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.

Step 11

Spread the sourdough mixture evenly over the top of the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.

Step 12

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the sourdough topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
