    List of Ingredients




    Chicken Thighs Braised in White Wine


    8 bone-in skinless chicken thighs (about 2 3/4 pounds)
    coarse salt and ground pepper
    4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
    1 cup dry white wine
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 lemon, cut into 8 thin slices, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into pieces
    2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
    cooked rice, for serving (optional)

    Recipe




    In a 12-inch skillet with a tight-fitting lid, arrange thighs, bone side up; season with salt and pepper.

    Add garlic, wine, and thyme.

    Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer.

    Cover and cook, 30 minutes.

    Turn chicken over.

    Place a lemon slice on each piece; cover and continue simmering until tender, about 15 minutes.

    Leaving garlic and liquid in skillet, transfer chicken and lemon slices to a platter.

    Cover tightly with foil to keep warm.

    Bring liquid in skillet to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.

    Remove skillet from heat.

    Add butter, parsley, and lemon juice; stir until butter has softened and sauce is smooth.

    Season with salt and pepper.

    Serve chicken with sauce and, if desired, rice.
