Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken thighs skin on bone in
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion diced
  • 12 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tbsp gluten free 1-1 flour blend or AP flour
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 sprigs thyme

Instructions

Cooking Steps

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then pat dry.
  • Render chicken skin-side down in a cold pan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until golden brown; remove from pan.
  • In the same pan, sauté mushrooms for 3-4 minutes, then add onions until translucent, seasoning as you go. Stir in minced garlic for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with flour to coat the vegetables.
  • Deglaze with white wine, stirring to prevent clumps, and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Stir in chicken stock, heavy cream, thyme, and seasonings, then add the chicken back and simmer covered on low heat for 40-45 minutes, stirring periodically.
  • When the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily, turn off the heat and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure to stir the chicken every five minutes during the simmering process to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The chicken is done when it easily shreds with two forks.
