1

Rub chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In 5-quart Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in butter 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned; transfer to plate.
2

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in Dutch oven. Cook onions, carrot and celery in butter 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are softened. Add mushrooms; cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms brown.
3

Stir in flour; cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until flour coats vegetables and smells nutty. Stir in wine; simmer 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add broth and chicken. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut (at least 165°F) and sauce thickens. Stir in whipping cream, lemon juice and fresh herbs.

Expert Tips

Use the onions, carrot and celery to “mop up” the delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Sauvignon Blanc is a good choice of wine for this recipe – both for cooking and for pairing!
