  • Prep Time 25 minutes
  • Total Time 35 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 3 pounds total)
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
    • 1 cup pitted dried plums

Directions

  1. In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in two batches, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through. Transfer to a plate.
  2. To pot, add onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes (reduce heat if browning too quickly). Add flour; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and chicken along with any accumulated juices.
  3. Cover, and cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes; stir in dried plums.
