Recipe View 7 mins Sprinkle chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs into the skillet, skin-side down. Cook until skin is golden on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes; turn thighs over. Brush with 1 tablespoon mustard and continue to cook until bottom side is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer thighs to a plate.

Cook, stirring often, until onions are mostly translucent and evenly coated in mustard, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil; simmer until sauce reduces slightly and no longer smells strongly of alcohol, about 3 minutes. Add broth, heavy cream, bay leaf, and thyme; stir to combine.

Recipe View 18 mins Return chicken, skin-side up, to the skillet and cover. Bake in the preheated oven, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

For an even richer flavor, try using bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts instead of thighs.
Dry white wines like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio work best in this recipe. Avoid sweet wines.
If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the chicken and sauce to a baking dish before baking.
