Ingredients
2Chicken, Thighs
Salt, to taste
1tspPepper
2tbspsOlive Oil
8ClovesGarlic, finely chopped
1Onion, finely chopped
1cupMushrooms, sliced
2tspsDried Rosemary
1tbspAll purpose flour, or Maida
1cupChicken Stock
1cupMilk
Instructions
Marinate the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, half the chopped garlic, and salt. Keep this aside while you start the pan sauce.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a nonstick pan, add the chopped garlic and onions to it.
- Once the onions are cooked, add the mushrooms, salt and pepper. The mushrooms will start sweating in a few minutes. Add the stock and let this cook for 2-3 minutes
- Make a slurry with all-purpose flour and milk till no lumps are visible. Add this mixture to the pan and bring to a boil, while stirring continuously.
- Add the dried rosemary. Check the seasoning for taste and adjust as required. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes till it becomes thick. You can add a knob of butter at this point for extra flavor but I usually skip this. Switch off the flame.
- Take another non stick pan, and add half a table spoon olive oil. The pan should be hot enough, without smoking the oil.
- Add the chicken thighs and you should immediately hear a sizzle.
- Sear the chicken on both sides for about 3 minutes each. Cover the pan, and let the chicken cook for about 8-10 minutes till cooked. A fork should easily insert into the thickest part of the thigh.
Pour the sauce over the chicken, or have it on the side. Tastes best with steamed rice.
Notes
I would recommend using your judgement while making the sauce. If too thick, add more broth or water. Too thin, add the all purpose flour slurry and adjust the consistency to your taste.
