Ingredients
  • 8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound small shallots (about 12), peeled and halved
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish (optional)

Directions
  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper; coat with flour, shaking off excess.
  2. In a Dutch oven or 5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chicken until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove; set aside.
  3. Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add wine; cook until evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in mustard and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil.
  6. Return chicken, bone side down, to pot.
  7. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until chicken is tender and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
  8. Transfer chicken to a plate; loosely tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  9. Add tomatoes to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook on high until sauce has thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Return chicken to pot; reheat if necessary.
  10. Garnish with tarragon, if desired, and serve.

Lovely recipe! High FIVE to ya! :+D


Saved! I like the idea of refrigerating and having it the next day. Some of my recipes taste better the next day when all the ingredients have incorporated. Thanks Joymarie!


JM, another great and flavorful recipe. I love tarragon with chicken - perfect herb for it!


Nice recipe and good tip for the shallots too.
