Step 1
Start the fries in the oven or air fryer per package directions so they'll be ready when the chicken finishes.
Step 2
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Sear chicken skin-side down without moving for 6 minutes until golden.
Step 4
Flip chicken and sear the other side for 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Add shallot to the same skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then pour in white wine and scrape up browned bits.
Step 6
Whisk in mustard and cream, add thyme, and return chicken to the skillet. Simmer gently for 8 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Step 7
Serve chicken and sauce with crispy fries and a crisp green salad on the side.
