This hearty braised tender chicken thigh recipe with white wine, butter, rosemary, and mushroom gravy is one of my favorite comfort food recipes.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2lb chicken thighs, boneless & skinless
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp flour (all purpose or gluten free)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large sprig rosemary
  • 1 ¾ cups uncooked rice (cooked according to package instructions)

Instructions

  • Season chicken on both sides by sprinkling with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.
  • Bring a large pan to medium high heat and enough oil to lightly coat the bottom.  Sear the chicken ~ 3-4 minutes per side or until dark brown.  Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium.  Add butter, onions, and mushrooms to pan and cook ~ 7-10 minutes or until liquid is gone and mushrooms are browning.  Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Add flour and stir (the mushrooms will begin to look clumpy).  Stir in tomato paste and add to the clumpiness.  
  • Slowly stir in the broth and add rosemary sprig. Add chicken back to pan and any juices.  
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer covered ~ 25-30 minutes (stirring occasionally) or until gravy is thickened.
  • Serve over cooked rice and add a pretty little rosemary garnish if you have some.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • If your gravy is not thickening, remove the cover and simmer at a slightly higher heat.
  • If your gravy is too thick, stir in some more broth slowly and a little at a time until desired thickness.
  • The gravy will darken and also thicken with time.
