One Skillet Chicken Thighs With Asparagus And Peas
Instructions
1

Preheat over to 375 degrees F.

Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

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.

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.

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)
- Bacon Crispness Technique 🥓Cook bacon separately first and render the fat, then use the crispy bits and saved fat to build incredible flavor in your skillet before adding chicken thighs.
- Asparagus Precision Cut 🔪Cut asparagus on a diagonal to increase surface area for better caramelization and faster, more even cooking in the skillet.
- Wine Deglazing Magic 🍷When deglazing with white wine, scrape up all the browned bits from the skillet to develop a rich, complex sauce base with maximum flavor depth.
- Chicken Thigh Sear Mastery 🔥Pat chicken thighs completely dry before searing to ensure a golden-brown crust and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Lemon Brightness Hack 🍋Add fresh lemon juice at the very end of cooking to preserve its bright, fresh flavor and prevent any bitter undertones from prolonged heat exposure.
