Braised chicken thighs
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you have an hour and some chicken thighs, cook them with vegetables in a creamy sauce. I often prepare chicken thighs this way for festive occasions, pouring the creamy sauce over the side dish. Mashed potatoes or a fresh vegetable salad go best with these thighs. Serve hot.

1. You can cook any part of the chicken using this recipe. I chose thighs because they are meaty and release enough fat during cooking, resulting in a great sauce for the side dish.
