Description
Herb Roasted Chicken in Creamy White Wine Sauce is a delightful dish featuring tender chicken thighs roasted in a rich and creamy sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down to the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well until combined. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk or chicken broth.
- Add vegetables such as asparagus or spinach to the skillet during the last 10 minutes of roasting for added nutrition and flavor.
