Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 chicken thighs
2 T flour
1T kosher salt
1 T ground black pepper
2T unsalted butter
12-15 whole medium shallots, peeled
2 C white wine
2 T Dijon mustard
2 springs tarragon
2 C cherry tomatoes, cut in half

Steps:

Rinse chicken thighs in water and pat very dry with paper towel. Sprinkle over them the flour,salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet set over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, until well browned and crisp on all sides. Set aside. Add the shallots to the pot and sauté them in the butter and chicken fat until they begin to soften and caramelize, app. 10-12 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, stir with a large spoon, add mustard and tarragon, and chicken thighs. Cover, turn to low and simmer 30 minutes. Remove lid, let sauce reduce and thicken, 15-20 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes, stir lightly and serve
