Description
A fresh lemon chicken with a glaze, perfect for spring and summer.
Ingredients
- 2 lemons (170 g)
- 4 chicken thighs (600 g), with skin on
- salt
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil
- 2 cups (150 g) of white button mushrooms, sliced thick
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) of chicken stock
- 1 sprig fresh thyme (1 g), leaves picked
- freshly ground black pepper
- fresh thyme, to garnish
Instructions
- Cut both lemons in half. Save one half for juice and set aside. Thinly slice the remaining lemons and set aside.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan and fry the thighs until the skins are golden and crispy. Remove the thighs and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the mushrooms and cook until caramelized.
- Place the chicken, mushrooms, and slices of lemon in a slow cooker, and pour in the chicken stock. Squeeze the lemon half into the slow cooker and add the picked thyme leaves. Cover and cook for 2 hours on low.
- After two hours, remove the chicken, lemon, and mushrooms with a slotted spoon, and set aside to keep warm.
- Pour the stock into a clean nonstick pan on the stove and reduce over high heat until it becomes thick and glossy. Use a pastry brush to simply brush this glaze over the chicken thighs.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with additional fresh thyme sprigs.
