One Skillet Chicken Thighs With Asparagus And Peas
Instructions
1
Preheat over to 375 degrees F.
2
Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
3
In a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook for 4-5 minutes, until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels. Carefully place chicken into bacon fat in skillet and sear until lightly browned on one side, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
4
Lower the heat and add in shallots and red pepper flakes; sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened slightly. Add the white wine, stirring and scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, then add the bacon, chicken broth, peas, asparagus, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper, bring to a boil, and then add the chicken thighs back to the pan. Place in oven and bake for 15-18 minutes.
5
Remove the chicken from the oven, add the butter, and swirl pan around. Garnish with minced herbs and lemon slices if you like. Serve with rice or buttered egg noodles.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Render Bacon First for Flavor Foundation 🥓Cook the bacon until crispy before removing it, then use the rendered fat to sear your chicken thighs for deep, smoky flavor that infuses the entire dish.
- Pat Chicken Dry for Superior Crust 💧Dry the chicken thighs thoroughly with paper towels before searing to achieve a golden, crispy skin that won't steam in its own moisture.
- Deglaze Strategically with Wine 🍷After searing the chicken, add white wine to the hot skillet immediately to lift up caramelized bits, creating a rich fond that becomes your sauce base.
- Add Delicate Vegetables Last 🥗Introduce asparagus and frozen peas in the final 3-5 minutes of cooking to preserve their bright color, crisp texture, and fresh spring flavor.
- Whisk Mustard into Sauce Carefully 🥄Temper the Dijon mustard by whisking it into a small amount of warm sauce first before adding to the skillet to prevent lumps and ensure silky sauce consistency.
