This Braised Chicken with Leeks, Peas, and Butter Beans is so tender and delicious. It's also done in one pan, which makes clean up a breeze.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 40 mins
Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Kosher salt and black pepper

3 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces

4 cloves garlic, sliced

1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

3 tablespoons sour cream

1 15.5-ounce can butter beans, drained and rinsed

½ cup frozen peas, thawed

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons dill, chopped plus sprigs for serving

Directions

1Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.  Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, skin-side down, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

2Add the leeks and garlic to the Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the leeks are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the broth and sour cream and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken, skin-side up, and simmer over medium-low heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest piece registers 165° F, 12 to 14 minutes.

3Stir the beans, peas, lemon juice, and chopped dill into the sauce and simmer until the beans are hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve topped with dill sprigs.
