Ingredients

  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds total)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 teaspoon olive oil

  • 1 pound baby carrots with 1/2-inch tops, halved if large

  • 4 shallots, quartered

  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

  • 1 ⅓ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel (set aside)

  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 2 tablespoon snipped fresh sage

  • Lemon wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In an extra-large ovenproof skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until brown, turning once. Add carrots, shallots and garlic to skillet. Pour 1/3 cup of the chicken broth and the lemon juice over chicken in skillet. Bring to boiling.

  2. Place skillet in oven; roast, uncovered, about 25 minutes or until chicken is done (180°F) and carrots are just tender. Transfer chicken and carrots to a platter, cover with foil to keep warm.

  3. Whisk flour into remaining broth. Add broth mixture and wine to the hot skillet. Whisk to combine. Return skillet to medium-high heat. Cook and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, about 5 minutes or until liquid is slightly thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in sage and lemon peel. Serve sauce with chicken and carrots. Serve with lemon wedges.
