FabHow Tips

• While cooking chicken with white wine, you can also add 3 to 4 garlic pods along with the onions and carrots for greater flavor.
• Another incredibly simple way to elevate this dish is by adding fresh or dried herbs like rosemary and thyme. Sprinkle in a pinch of each while cooking the vegetables.
• Instead of adding water, you can add 1½ glasses of chicken stock.
• You can also roughly chop a handful of fresh parsley to season the dish. Simply transfer the dish to a serving bowl and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.
• To get flavorful chicken, you can marinate it in lemon juice and basic seasoning. Squeeze out the fresh juice of half a lemon and sprinkle some salt and freshly ground black pepper over the chicken thighs. Use your hands to rub the marinade over the thighs to ensure that they are seasoned properly. Marinate the chicken overnight for best results.
