Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms halved
  • 3 large shallots diced
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 pound baby gold potatoes halved
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Season chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
  • Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side; set aside.
  • Add mushrooms, shallots and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in chicken stock, potatoes, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Return chicken to the Dutch oven.
  • Place into oven and bake until potatoes are tender and chicken has completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 40-45 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve immediately.
