Candlelight in the adoining room...
I have come over from my other blog Queen of the Armchair with a recipe from my Cook Up with Vicki

This month I have chosen Lemon, Thyme and White Wine Chicken...

All in the pot...8 chicken thighs...skin on...bone in
2 brown onions...quartered
1 lemon...sliced
6 cloves garlic...unpeeled
10 sprigs thyme
1/4 C (60ml) olive oil
1/2 C (125ml) dry white wine
1 and 1/2 C (375ml) chicken stock

Pre heat oven 180c (355F)
Place chicken, onion, lemon, garlic, thyme and oil in a bowl and toss to combine
Heat a large heavy based saucepan over high heat
Cook thicken, onion, lemon, garlic and thyme in batches for 3-4m each side or until golden.
Set aside and keep warm
Add the wine to the pan and cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon
Add chicken and stock to the pan and bring to boil
Roast in oven 30-35m...with lid on...or until chicken is cooked through.

Served with Jacket Parsley Potatoes and a Salad!!!
Very easy...and very yummy!!!
If you get a chance do pop over to Vicki's and see what she has been up to...
especially in that fabulous garden of hers in California...by the beach too!!!

  1. Really, Dzintra, I get hungry when I see this. And so nicely displayed. You should have added the bottle of wine. It had such a pretty label.

  5. An incredibly simple dish but spectacular none the less. A wonderful combination of flavours. I suspect it will become a firm favourite. Ann :)
