Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium sweet onion chopped
  • 1 large shallot thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • โ…” cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped tarragon or sage (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • As soon as the butter foams, add the chicken skin side first and saute on each side until they have light golden color.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add onion and shallots to the same skillet the chicken was in. Saute until translucent and tender.
  • Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 more minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste and leave to cook for 30 seconds, and then raise the heat to high, before adding the vinegar.
  • Add the stock and white wine and reduce by simmering for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the tarragon leaves.
  • Then add the chicken pieces to the sauce and cook covered for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
  • When the chicken is cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside in a covered dish to keep warm while you finish the sauce.
  • To finish the sauce, boil the sauce for another 10 minutes after chicken is removed.
  • Add the cream to the sauce and leave to reduce for 15 minutes.
  • Add the chicken back to the dish before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Serve warm with sauce drizzled on top.
