Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    8 bone-in skinless chicken thighs (about 2 3/4 pounds) (I used boneless)
    Coarse salt and ground pepper
    4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
    1 cup dry white wine
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 lemon, cut into 8 thin slices, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into pieces

Directions

1. In a 12-inch skillet with a tight-fitting lid, arrange thighs, bone side up; season with salt and pepper. Add garlic, wine, and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook, 30 minutes. (I reduced the overall cooking time for this recipe by 10-15 minutes since I was using boneless chicken thighs.)

2. Turn chicken over. Place a lemon slice on each piece; cover and continue simmering until tender, about 15 minutes. Leaving garlic and liquid in skillet, transfer chicken and lemon slices to a platter. Cover tightly with foil to keep warm.

3. Bring liquid in skillet to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add butter, parsley, and lemon juice; stir until butter has softened and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with sauce and, if desired, rice.

    Very Good
    Very good basic braised chicken. The meat stayed moist. Threw one fresh chopped parsley on for serving and looked pretty. Could easily be a company dish as can be held warm in the juices. It is lemony but I love lemon so worked for me. Could reduce wine and use more wine. - 2/17/19

    Bad
    The recipe smelled wonderful while cooking but it just wasn’t what I had hoped it would be. New husband asked that I not fix it again. - 10/24/18

    Not to bad. There was an awfully lot of lemon though. I might try it again to see if I messed up somewhere. - 3/12/18

    This dish smelled delish and I felt fancy braising with white wine ;-). I added fresh rosemary at the end - This one is a keeper!! - 6/17/16

    We enjoyed this recipe very much I did not change anything in the recipe. DH and I really liked the flavor. He went back for seconds. We had green beans, salad, and brown rice with it. - 4/12/13

    This was actually pretty good--I had marinated my chicken in a zesty garlic herb marinade, so I nixed the extra salt and pepper and used an all-purpose salt free seasoning with thyme in it. The sauce is REALLY good. Hooked up some leek fried rice to go with it. Have to do this again. - 6/25/11
