👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure chicken is well-seasoned before browning.
2
Heat sunflower oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken thighs on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
3
Add the sliced onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Add the minced garlic, dried savory, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
5
Pour in the white wine (if using) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
6
Return the chicken thighs to the pot. Add the chicken broth and enough water to partially cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer.
💡 전문가 팁: The liquid should come about halfway up the chicken pieces.
7
Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is almost cooked through.
8
Add the halved and pitted plums to the pot. Stir gently. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the plums have softened and released their juices.
💡 전문가 팁: Be gentle when adding plums to avoid breaking them too much.
9
Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
💡 전문가 팁: The sauce should be slightly thickened from the plums and chicken juices.
