Few dishes capture French home cooking quite like Poulet à la Crème, a comforting braise of chicken thighs simmered in a silky white wine and cream sauce brightened with fresh tarragon. Browned chicken thighs are gently coated in flour, then bathed in dry white wine and chicken stock before a final swirl of heavy cream and tarragon brings everything together into a luxuriously smooth sauce. It's a weeknight-friendly recipe that still feels special enough for company, ready in under an hour with minimal hands-on effort. Serve it over rice, egg noodles, or with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of sauce. - Claude

Ingredients
2 lb bone-in, skinless chicken thighs**
1.5 to 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion or shallots
1 to 1.5 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 to 1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 to 2 Tbsp fresh minced tarragon
Salt and pepper, to taste

**If you buy chicken with the skin on and you love crispy skin, you can peel it off, bake it on a sheet pan in a 400°F (204°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes to make cracklings, and save it for a salad.
Directions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
 
Heat the butter in a skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Brown the chicken thighs for a few minutes on each side.
Add the onions or shallots directly to the pan over the chicken.
Cook for about 1 minute until they soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and stir to coat.
Pour in the white wine and chicken stock, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh minced tarragon.
The tarragon adds a delicate, licorice-like flavor that brightens the rich sauce.
Simmer for another minute or two, then serve immediately.
