Ingredients

  • 8 bone-in skin on chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 shallots sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ c sun-dried tomato strips drained
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 125 mL dry white wine
  • 375 mL chicken stock
  • 62.5 mL cream
  • 1 bunch fresh basil leaves torn

Instructions

  • Season chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large pan over high heat. Add chicken, skin side down and cook for 8-10 minutes until skin is golden and crispy.
  • Turn over a cook for a further 2-3 minutes before removing the chicken from the pan. The chicken doesn't need to be cooked all the way through at this stage!
  • Turn the heat down to medium. Use the excess chicken fat in the pan to sauté shallots and garlic until soft - about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add oregano and sun-dried tomatoes and stir in. Sprinkle over flour and mix, cooking off for one minute.
  • Pour in the wine and chicken stock, stirring continuously to remove any lumps. Add cream and mix to creamy a creamy sauce.
  • Add your chicken thighs back in, arranging them in one layer, skin side up. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes until chicken has cooked through.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in basil leaves. Serve with pasta or crusty bread for dipping, and a side salad.
