Chicken Thighs with Leeks and Shiitakes

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 large leek, white and light green parts only, diced
• 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (see Tips for Two)
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried

Directions

Place chicken on a plate and sprinkle all over with flour. Reserve the excess flour.

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, leek and mushrooms to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

Sprinkle the reserved flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Add broth, wine and salt and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, until it is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in tarragon.

Tips for Two: Chicken BrothStorage: Leftover canned broth keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in your freezer. Leftover broths in aseptic packages keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.Uses: Add to soups, sauces and stews; use for cooking rice and grains; add a little when reheating leftovers to prevent them drying out.
