MUSTARD-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON RECIPE



MUSTARD-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON Recipe image

Provided by á-3145

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed and patted dry
1 tablespoon grapeseed or other neutral oil
2 medium shallots, halved and thinly sliced
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the middle position. In a small bowl, stir together both mustards and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper; set aside. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the chicken skin side down and cook without disturbing until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Using tongs, transfer the chicken skin up to a plate, then spread ¼ cup of the mustard mixture evenly onto the skin sides. Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat in the skillet and return the pan to medium. Add the shallots, garlic and flour, then cook, stirring often, until the mixture is light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil over medium-high, scraping up any browned bits. Return the chicken pieces skin side up to the skillet and pour in the accumulated juices. Place the pan in the oven and cook until the thickest part of the thigh reaches about 175°F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken skin side up to a platter. Set the skillet over medium-high (the handle will be hot) and bring the cooking liquid to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a spoon drawn through the sauce leaves a trail, 5 to 8 minutes. Off heat, stir in the remaining mustard mixture, the yogurt and tarragon. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then spoon the sauce around the chicken.
