4 fresh chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 shallots, coarsly chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Dredge chicken thighs (or breasts) in flour to coat.
Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof saute pan with a lid. Add shallots and allow to brown. Add chicken and sear on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Add garlic and saute for about 1 minute, or until you can smell the aroma. Add 1/4 cup chicken stock and vinegar and boil until reduced by about half, 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
Remove from oven. Spoon a bit of the sauce on top, and serve the rest of the sauce on the side.
