Cabernet Sauvignon Braised Chicken Thighs
Tender chicken thighs braised in a rich Cabernet Sauvignon sauce, infused with herbs and vegetables, creating a flavorful and comforting dish.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the chicken thighs and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chopped onions and carrots, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the Cabernet Sauvignon and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Add chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf to the skillet, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, and cover with a lid. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and braise for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Serve the chicken thighs with the sauce spooned over the top.
