  • ¼ Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Each Yellow Onion sliced
  • ¼ Cup Unsalted Butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Slowly start to pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, then the Worcestershire sauce and lastly the cream.
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 3 Cups Chicken Broth, 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken thighs back to the skillet and spoon over the sauce.
  • Cover with a lid, or tightly wrapped foil. Place in the oven and cook for 50-60 minutes.
  • Remove and spoon over the sauce over the chicken again before serving over rice or mashed potatoes.
