Description
Inspired from a lemon festival in France, this simple dish has a zesty lemon flavor and is prepared with a few simple ingredients in less than an hour. The sauce can be prepared creamy or authentic with no heavy cream.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs, with skin
- salt and pepper
- 1 T. flour
- 1 T. unsalted butter, for cooking the chicken
- 1 t. olive oil, for cooking the chicken
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- cloves from 1 whole garlic bulb, sliced and germs removed
- 17 oz. white chicken stock
- 2 oz. white wine
- 1 T. dried mixed herbs
- 1 lemon, skin and white part peeled, then sliced
- 5 oz. or less heavy cream, optional
- parsley or thyme, for garnish, optional
Steps
- Bring the stock to a gentle boil; add the garlic slices; let simmer for 5 minutes; remove from heat. Set aside.
- While heating and simmering the stock, season chicken with salt and pepper; dust chicken with flour.
- Heat the oil in an ovenproof Dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; sear until golden brown on all sides (about 5 minutes per side). Once done, transfer chicken to a platter. Transfer and reserve the excess cooking fat to a small bowl.
