Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs (bone-in skin-on) Ensure juiciness and rich flavor.
For the Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard Adds a delightful tang.
  • 2 tablespoons Whole Grain Mustard Optional but recommended.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Rich, luscious texture.
  • 1/2 cup White Wine Enhances flavor while deglazing.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by seasoning your chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 7-8 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip them and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Once browned, remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add a little more oil if necessary. Toss in finely chopped shallots and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and softened.
  3. Pour in a splash of white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let it reduce for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream along with Dijon mustard and whole grain mustard. Mix well and allow it to gently simmer for about 3-4 minutes until it slightly thickens.
  5. Return the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, skin-side up, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 165°F.
