Ingredients

🍗 4 chicken thighs
🧅 2 large onions, thinly sliced
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🥛 2 cups chicken broth
🍶 1 cup whole milk
🌾 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🪔 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
🍀 1 teaspoon dried thyme
🟫 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1- Prep the Chicken:

• Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
• Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2- Brown the Chicken:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil.
• Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and brown for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3- Cook the Onions:

• In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they become golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Stir occasionally to prevent them from burning.

4- Add Garlic and Seasonings:

• Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5- Make the Gravy:

• Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes to form a roux.
• Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer to thicken.

6- Combine and Simmer:

• Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling them in the gravy.
• Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

7- Adjust Seasoning:

• Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

8- Serve:

• Serve the smothered chicken over mashed potatoes or rice, generously ladling the onion gravy over the top.
