Chicken and Onions
Juicy, crispy chicken thighs are slow-braised with sweet caramelized onions in a white wine and chicken broth sauce, all cooked in one pan - perfect served over pasta, rice, or potatoes.
Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
- 1 large frying pan with lid
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 6 chicken thighs bone in and skin on
- 3 cups yellow onions sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth salted
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup white wine Chardonnay
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 small handful fresh sage
- 1 small handful fresh thyme
- 1 small handful fresh rosemary
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Peel and thinly slice the onions. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.Add the chicken and sear for 3 - 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. (It does not need to be fully cooked at this stage.)Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the sliced onions and garlic to the same pan and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing it to coat the onions.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for about 1–2 minutes, until slightly reduced.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Nestle the chicken back into the pan along with any juices. Scatter the fresh herbs over top of the chicken thighs.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve warm with pasta, rice, potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
