Chicken And Carrots In Dill Yogurt Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
| Butter | 2 Tablespoon | |
| 6 to 8 chicken thighs (2 pounds total) | ||
| Dijon Mustard | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Carrots | 4 Large | |
| Mint leaves | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 1 cup plain yogurt, preferably whole-milk | ||
| Ground black pepper | 1 To taste | |
| Salt | To Taste | |
Directions
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin side down, and saute until the skin is crisp, about 10 minutes. Be sure to turn the chicken several times so it crisps and browns evenly.
2. Using the back of a spoon or a spatula, spread the mustard on both sides of the chicken. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low and cook, turning the chicken every now and then, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is cooking, grate the carrots in a food processor. Remove them to a mixing bowl, and wipe out the bowl of the processor. Rinse and stem the dill, pat it dry, and add it to the processor along with the yogurt. Puree until smooth, and set aside.
4. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the grated carrots to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon salt, and saute, stirring continuously, over medium heat until the carrots begin to wilt and are warmed through but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Add the yogurt mixture to the skillet and stir gently over low heat, uncovered, until warmed through, about 1 minute. Take care not to boil the yogurt or it will curdle. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon carrots onto a serving platter and top with the chicken.
