Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs, roughly 2 1/2 pounds (each thigh about 6 ounces)
  • Kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 carrots, sliced into 1-inch bias cut (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 4 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch bias cut (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
  • 3/4 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Buttered noodles, accompaniment

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a Dutch oven (12-inch diameter) over medium-high heat. Lay half of the chicken pieces skin-side down in the skillet. Cook the chicken, until golden-brown on both sides, turning once, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Reduce the heat to medium, add the carrots and celery, and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the rosemary, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the lemon juice, and scrape up any browned bits that cling to the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broth, onions, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon salt and bring just to a boil.

Return the chicken skin-side up to the pot, taking care that the skin is just over the surface of the liquid, and then put the stew in the oven. Cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and lightly glazed and brown, about 40 minutes. Baste the chicken occasionally in the last 20 minutes of cooking. Meanwhile, use a fork to work the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the 2 tablespoons flour to make a paste.

Remove the stew from the oven. Remove and discard the rosemary and arrange all the vegetables and chicken (reserving the juices in the pan) in a serving dish/bowl. Place the Dutch oven over medium heat and whisk the butter/flour mixture into the juices until dissolved. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened. Pour sauce over the chicken and serve immediately over buttered noodles.

    So I absolutely adore this recipe! The taste is amazing and can easily be altered, as people have previously said! My personal problem however, is keeping the chicken skin crispy. I work so hard to fry it crispy and golden, but by the time I pull it out, the skin is flaccid. This is probably my lack in cooking skills rather than the recipe. Any advice?

    This is a great base recipe that is easy to alter according to your needs. My husband isn't a big pasta fan so I added diced potatoes to the pot to make it a little heartier. I also didn't make the roux and just left it with the homemade chicken stock. It was really excellent and since it was a one pot meal I can see this becoming a regular meal.

    Soo yummy. The basic recipe has fantastic flavor (not too lemony but is a little light on the veggies. We added mushrooms, which were a nice addition, and zucchini, which got too mushy. I think I will try adding some sauteed baby artichokes next time. Also, the stew is fantastic over wild rice. The recipe is super flexible.
