Now for this Lemony Tomato Chicken that will surely have you wondering why you never made it before! Let’s break it down!
Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless chicken thighs, cleaned
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour/regular flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 lemons, juiced
- sage, for garnish
Instructions
Clean your chicken thighs and remove any excess fat. Lightly coat your chicken thighs with flour on both sides. Heat a medium sized skillet (I used my cast iron 10 inch pan) over medium heat and add olive oil. Place chicken thighs in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the crust becomes golden. Remove chicken from the pan and add a splash more olive oil. Add the cherry tomatoes and mix around until they are fully coated. Keep heat on medium and cook the tomatoes for 3-4 minutes until they start to blister and pop. Add the garlic and stir continuously so the garlic doesn’t burn. Add the wine and mix together. Apply pressure to the tomatoes to help the burst process (this will also help add flavor to the sauce). Add lemon juice and let simmer for 2 minutes. Place chicken back in the pan and let simmer for 4 minutes. Flip chicken and let simmer for 3 more minutes. The sauce will reduce by half and turn into a creamy thick sauce that coats the chicken. Plate the chicken and add more sauce and tomatoes on top. Garnish with chopped sage and enjoy!
