Total Time: 40mins (Prep: 5mins, Cook: 35mins)chicken_5
Serves: 4-5

 

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
750g skinless and boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
2 onions, thickly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
400ml ‘Perfect 5’ Paracombe Premium Perry
175g half-fat crème fraîche
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
small pack parsley, chopped
few thyme sprigs, leaves picked, about ½ tbsp.
cooked rice and Tenderstem broccoli, to serve

 

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large lidded non-stick pan (we used a wide, high-sided frying pan) and cook the chicken for 3-4 mins on each side until browned.  Remove with a slotted spoon, then add the onions to the pan.  Cook for 3 mins, then stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more.  Pour in the Perry and bring to the boil.  Return the chicken to the pan, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 mins.
  2. After 10 mins, remove the lid and stir in the crème fraîche, mustard and herbs.  Bubble for another 5 mins, then season. Serve with rice and Tenderstem broccoli.
