Ingredients
 ½ cup all purpose flour
 ½ tsp salt
 ¼ tsp pepper
 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (approx. 630 g)
 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
 100 g sliced prosciutto
 3 Tbsp salted butter, divided
 1 ½ cups chopped carrots
 1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms
 1 onion, chopped
 2 shallots, diced
 2 garlic cloves, minced
 3 Tbsp tomato paste
 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
 4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
 1 ¾ cups dry red wine
 1 cup beef or chicken broth
 fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
1

Place the flour, salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Shake well. Add the chicken thighs and shake to thoroughly coat.

2

Heat 1 Tbsp of the olive oil in a large braiser or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until crispy all over, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.

3

In the same braiser, add the remaining olive oil and the flour-coated chicken thighs. Sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Add 1 Tbsp of the butter and let the butter melt and brown around the chicken, about 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet
and place on a clean plate.

4

Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, until they are slightly softened and fragrant. Add the remaining butter, tomato paste, mustard, and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.

5

Stir the red wine and broth into the skillet, simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the chicken into the sauce. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are tender. Remove the thyme sprigs from the sauce.

6

Serve the chicken and sauce over mashed potatoes. Garnish with the crispy prosciutto and fresh thyme sprigs. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
