Ingredients
- 6 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- kosher salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 ½ cup chicken broth low sodium
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 shallot minced
- 3 carrot peeled and cut into 1/3-inch diagonal slices
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 1 pound asparagus trimmed
- 1 ½ tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon tarragon chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Set chicken aside and keep warm.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, and flour; set aside.
- Add garlic and shallot to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in carrots and mushrooms until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in wine and stock mixture, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet; bring to a simmer.
- Stir in asparagus until crisp tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in dill and tarragon until fragrant, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken to the skillet.
- Serve immediately.
