What we love about chicken thighs is that they are nutrient rich and super juicy – they definitely hold flavor well. In this rustic dish, we make ours even more tender with a slightly acidic tomato and white wine broth. They’re paired with root vegetables and whole grape tomatoes in a buttery basil-infused sauce. Toasted buttery almonds are the crown for this queen of a dish.

Cooking Guidelines
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
- Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

Prepare the Ingredients
Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Peel and cut turnip into 3/4” dice. Trim, peel, and cut carrots into 3/4” lengths. Peel shallot and slice into thin strips. Thinly slice green onion, separate green and white slices. Halve grape tomatoes. Rinse chicken, pat dry, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Toast the Almonds
Warm a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add almonds and half the butter. Toast, swirling pan, until almonds are light brown aromatic, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer buttered almonds to a plate and return pan to medium-high heat (no need to wipe pan).
-
Sear the Chicken and Make the Slurry
Add 1 tsp. olive oil and chicken thighs to pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side, or until deep brown. Flip chicken and cook for 3 more minutes. While chicken is cooking, combine white wine, tomato juice, 1/4 cup water, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Reserve. Transfer browned chicken to a plate and return pan to medium-high heat (no need to wipe pan).
-
Add the Vegetables
Add rutabaga, carrot, white parts of green onions, and shallot (to taste) to pan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften and brown. Browning the vegetables, or caramelizing, means you're developing flavor and will enhance the quality of your final dish.
-
Add the Liquid
Add the wine-tomato slurry and seared chicken with any accumulated juices to pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens and chicken is very tender, about 10-12 minutes. Add remaining butter and whole grape tomatoes to pan and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Plate the Dish
Arrange sauce and vegetables on the plate and top with braised chicken thighs. Garnish with green parts of green onions and toasted almonds.
