Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Thighs
- 1 small onion, sliced thinly
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (I like to use baby bella)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp. fresh thyme, minced
- 3 tbsp. white wine
- 1/2 c chicken broth
- 2 tbsp. oil, I prefer Avocado oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
- Season the chicken thighs on both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
- In a Dutch oven, add 2 tablespoon Avocado oil and turn the heat on to medium/high. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken, starting with the skin side down. Cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes or until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook on the other side for another 5 minutes. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked- you are just locking in all the juices at this point. When the chicken has browned on the other side, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onions and mushrooms to the Dutch oven. Cook the vegetables for 5 to 8 minutes until slightly tender. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Then, add in the garlic and thyme to the pan. Cook the garlic and thyme for about 2 minutes and then deglaze the pan with the white wine. Cook the wine until it has reduced by half and then add in the chicken stock.
- Nestle the chicken back in the Dutch oven in a one even layer. Place the lid on the pot and put it in the oven. Let the chicken braise for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, remove the chicken from the oven. Let cool slightly.
- I like to serve mine over cauliflower rice but it would be delicious over mashed potatoes or regular rice as well- something to soak up all that yummy braising liquid!
- Enjoy!
