Crispy Chicken in a Creamy Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

6 chicken thighs (skins on)
Salt & pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 dash Italian seasoning
1 cup whipping/heavy cream
3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
10 leaves fresh basil
1 (10 fluid ounce) can chicken broth

How to make it:

Preheat oven to 350F. Move rack to center of oven.
Add butter and olive oil to a deep oven-safe skillet (mine is 2โ€ณ deep) on medium-high heat.
Season both sides of chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add to the pan skin-side down. Tip: make sure the pan is hot or the chicken skin will stick. Cook for 8-10 minutes and then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. If the oil is furiously splattering, you may want to turn it down to medium heat. Chicken should release fairly easily once itโ€™s browned.
Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine and mustard. Stir until the mustard has dissolved. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, cream, sun-dried tomatoes, basil (tear it into smaller pieces), and chicken broth.
Add the chicken back in the pan and cook in the oven for 45 minutes.


Notes :

This is the skillet I used. If you donโ€™t have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the sauce and chicken pieces to a baking dish after step 5.

Enjoy!!
