Intgredients

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Begin by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, ensuring they are moisture-free. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down. Sear until golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Saute the Aromatics

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and aromatic. Stir in the dried thyme, rosemary, and paprika, allowing the flavors to meld for about 1-2 minutes.

Create the Sauce

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. This will help create a thick, flavorful sauce. Gradually pour in the chicken broth and white wine, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens.

Return the Chicken

Gently place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, ensuring they are nestled into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken for added flavor.

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Garnish and Serve

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the skillet from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the homestyle chicken over a bed of fluffy rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite pasta.

There you have it—a delightful, homestyle chicken recipe that's perfect for any occasion. With its rich flavors and tender chicken, this dish embodies the essence of comfort food. Enjoy the satisfaction of preparing a homemade meal that fills the air with warmth and brings loved ones together around the table. Bon appétit!
