Happy Weekend Wishes


 once again sharing this old photograph

With the weather turning chilly in the UK this weekend it's always nice to see photographs like this one. He seems to be enjoying tucking into some hay ... now I will leave him his hay and concentrate on a nice low carb dinner, have you tried this?

Chicken Thighs Pan Roasted with a Chive Cream Sauce


Ingredients
Serves Four
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
1/3 Cup Finely Chopped Yellow (white) Onion
1/4 Cup Dry White Wine (use whatever white wine you enjoy drinking for this, a chardonnay is nice)
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 Cup Chicken Stock
1/2 Cup Heavy (double) Cream
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Chives
(Kosher) Salt + Black Pepper

Directions/Method
Preheat oven to 425F / 220C / Gas Mark 7 and season both sides of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, top side down, and cook until nicely browned, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken over and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for 8 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked through. Remove chicken and let rest on a plate.

Place the skillet back over medium high heat (leave all of the chicken bits and juices in the pan). Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until beginning to brown. Add wine and cook, stirring often and scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan, until its reduced by half.

Whisk in the Dijon mustard and then chicken stock and cream and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in chives, add the chicken back to the pan and simmer until chicken is warmed through. Spoon sauce over the chicken and serve.

Tastes great served with a cauliflower mash and green beans.

Hello Ananka
So sorry to read about your daughter.
My thoughts and good wishes to you, hoping your daughter does not have Strep A.
There is a lot about this in the press and news at the moment.

Good luck with your appointment tomorrow.
God bless

All the best Jan

Jan - we love winter, and it has been snowing lightly today - always puts me even deeper into the Christmas spirit.

This weekend was definitely the time to serve up old warming favourites. This chicken dish looks fab! Did you have snow where you live? All my relatives were sending very pretty snowy photos!
Stay warm.

Same here. Problems with good comments going to spam and then for me, real spam being published. Oy.
