Description

This easy one-skillet chicken thighs with carrots recipe is cooked in a white wine and garlic sauce on the stove. Fresh parsley adds a finishing touch.

Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 onion, cut in 1/2-inch thick slices
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons water, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

1 Blot chicken thighs dry with paper towels; season with salt and black pepper.
2 Heat butter and olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs; cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate; keep warm.
3 Add carrots, onion, and garlic to the same skillet, stirring to coat with drippings. Season with salt and black pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Nestle browned thighs into vegetables. Add wine and 2 tablespoons water; cook 2 minutes.
4 Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into chicken centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken and vegetables to a serving dish using a slotted spoon; reserve drippings in skillet.
5 Whisk remaining 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth; stir into drippings. Bring to a boil; cook until thickened, stirring continuously, 3 to 5 minutes.
6 Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh parsley to serve.
