This is a simple, delicious chicken recipe and a family favorite for over 20 years. The sauce is optional, but goes great with egg noodles.
1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste on one side. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium high heat and add the chicken, seasoned side down. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side.Cook for 3 minutes and turn, cook for another 3 minutes.
2. Turn the chicken pieces again, and sprinkle the garlic in among the pieces. Crush the thyme between your fingers and sprinkle over the chicken. Add the bay leaf so that it is in contact with the pan.
3. Reduce heat to medium low and cook covered for 12-18 minutes, turning occasionally. You may want to remove the cover for the last 5 minutes or so if there seems to be too much liquid in the pan.
4. Remove the chicken pieces to a serving dish and cover to keep warm. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Remove the garlic to serve on the side. Turn the heat up to medium and add the wine, stirring to dissolve any residue from the chicken.
5. As the wine boils, stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the shallots. Swirl together and cook until the wine is reduced by half.
6. Add the whipping cream and stir to heat through, seasoning with salt and pepper as you like.
Serve with egg noodles with the sauce on the side, or you might spoon some sauce over the chicken.
