Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin-on (about 800g total)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 12 baby carrots, scrubbed and trimmed
  • 200g baby turnips, quartered
  • 150g fresh peas (or frozen)
  • 150g green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 8 small new potatoes, halved
  • 1 large shallot, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 150ml dry white wine
  • 400ml chicken stock
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh tarragon
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

2

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 6-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for 3 minutes more, then transfer to a plate.

3

Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon butter. Add the new potatoes and baby carrots, cooking for 5 minutes until lightly coloured. Add the turnips and cook for 2 minutes more.

4

Add the shallot and garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5

Add the chicken stock, thyme, tarragon, and bay leaf. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pan, skin-side up. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.

6

Add the green beans, cover, and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the peas and cook uncovered for 5 minutes until all vegetables are tender and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C when tested with a meat thermometer.

7

Remove the herb sprigs and bay leaf. Stir in the remaining butter and Dijon mustard into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

8

Serve the chicken and vegetables in shallow bowls, spooning the sauce over the top and garnishing with fresh chopped parsley.
