Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup Dijon mustard
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 large bay leaf
5 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Warm oil and butter in a large, ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place into the pot, skin-side down. Brush thighs with 1/2 the mustard. Cook until skin is golden, 3 to 4 minutes, and turn thighs over. Brush with remaining mustard. Cook 3 to 4 minutes more and transfer thighs to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add sliced onion to the casserole. Cook until nearly clear, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour in wine to deglaze. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Keep cooking until sauce reduces slightly and no longer smells strongly of alcohol, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Pour broth and heavy cream into the casserole dish. Scrape the bottom to loosen browned bits. Add bay leaf and thyme. Return chicken to the casserole dish and cover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 40 minutes.
