Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken thighs dry. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear chicken 4 minutes per side without moving until golden. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Pour wine into the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Add broth and bring to a simmer, ~1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in tarragon and sour cream until smooth. Return chicken to the pan and simmer until cooked through, 4–5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    While the sauce finishes, steam broccoli and carrots for 4 minutes. Serve chicken with sauce, roasted potato wedges, steamed vegetables, and lemon wedges.
