Braised Chicken with Herbs and Shallots

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

4 Chicken Thighs
1/2 cup Flour
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
6 Shallots, coarsely chopped
3 clove Garlic, crushed
1/4 cup Chicken Stock
2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
1 1/2 cups Chicken Stock
2 teaspoons crushed Dried Rosemary
1 teaspoon crushed Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon crushed Dried Basil
1 teaspoon crushed Dried Marjoram
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Dredge chicken thighs in flour to coat.

Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan with a lid. Add shallots and allow to brown.

Add chicken and sear on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until you can smell the aroma.

Add 1/4 cup chicken stock and vinegar and boil until reduced by about half, 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.

Cover and bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender.

Remove from oven. Spoon a bit of the sauce on top, and serve the rest of the sauce on the side.
