Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 chicken thighs, about 5 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 pound shiitake or wild mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoons fresh thyme
Juice of 1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Remove the skin and fat from the chicken thighs. Place them in a saucepan, cover with 6 cups of water and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 45 minutes. Remove and let cool; reserve the broth.
  • Remove the meat from the bones and set aside. In a frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked and the onion wilted. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and stir well. Slowly whisk in 2 to 3 cups of the reserved broth to make a thin roux. Season with the thyme, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken, onion and mushrooms to the sauce and reheat slowly. Adjust the seasonings and serve.
