Recipe Summary Oven-Braised Chicken Stew
With the convenience of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, you can have your dinner cooked in right about an hour, start to finish! Starting on the stovetop and moving to the oven allows double-duty for the oven, so you can bake bread for dinner at the same time.Ingredients | Boneless Chicken Thighs In Oven 4502 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighssalt and ground black pepper to taste1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil1 tablespoon unsalted butter2 cups chopped onions3 cups chopped carrots1 ½ cups chopped celery1 (16 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, quartered3 cups trimmed and chopped fresh green beans2 tablespoons minced garlic¾ cup dry white wine3 cups chicken broth, or as needed2 sprigs fresh rosemary, or to taste3 tablespoons cornstarch2 tablespoons water, or as neededDirectionsPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Cut each chicken thigh into 5 or 6 pieces. Lightly season with salt and pepper.Heat oil and butter in a 6-quart, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside.Add onions to the hot pot; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add carrots and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 more minute. Add mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Add green beans and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add chicken and any accumulated juices back to the pot. Pour in just enough chicken broth to barely cover everything in the pot. Sample broth and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Add rosemary sprigs, pressing them below the surface of the liquid.Cover and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove rosemary sprigs.Place cornstarch in a small bowl and add just enough water to create a thin paste. Stir until all lumps are dissolved and slowly add to the stew, stirring constantly.Place stew on the stove and heat over medium heat. Cook and stir until gravy has thickened and desired consistency has been achieved, about 5 minutes.If you prefer not to use the oven, you can simmer on the stovetop for 45 minutes.Additional cornstarch and water paste may be added if you prefer a thicker gravy.Info | Boneless Chicken Thighs In Oven 450prep: 30 mins cook: 55 mins total: 1 hr 25 mins Servings: 8 Yield: 8 servings
