Time 1h15m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb chicken thigh
1 large leek
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
4 ounces cremini mushrooms
2 ounces shiitake mushrooms
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh sage
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook Quinoa according to normal instructions (2 to 1 water to quinoa, boil, then simmer for roughly 20 minutes or until done. Set aside to serve under the chicken and gravey.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron pan or braiser over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces well with salt and pepper.
  • Place skin-side down in the skillet and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown on the skin side, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
  • Pour off all but two tablespoons of fat from the pan. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add the leeks, mushrooms, garlic, rosemary and sage and cook, stirring often, until all the veggies have softened and substantially reduced in volume, 5-10 minutes.
  • Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for a minute or two.
  • Stir in the wine, chicken stock and cream and bring to a boil.
  • Add browned chicken, skin-side up, and any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Adjust heat to keep liquid at a simmer, and cook until chicken is done all the way through, about 45 minutes.
