- 6 (about 2 lbs) boneless chicken thighs
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

3Add remaining 4 Tablespoons of butter to the pan over medium heat and brown the chicken pieces evenly on both sides.
-
4Cover the skillet, reduce heat and cook the chicken until tender about 10 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
-
5Add wine to pan stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan. Bring to a boil and then boil 4 minutes to reduce the wine.
-

!Butter is used to sauté onions and brown chicken. Wine is used to deglaze pan (wine dissolves flavor components that water cannot). Boiling off the alcohol mellows the flavor and reduces possibility of alcohol curdling the cream.
