When you think of braising, do you imagine wintery roasts and stews that bubble for ages? Well, guess what -- this simple technique doesn't have to be an endless affair. Really! Braising can be the perfect way to get a quick dinner on the table while showcasing the best flavors of spring. Sarah's Tip of the Day: In this recipe, you'll begin by simmering chicken thighs with garlic, white wine and thyme. After 30 minutes, top each piece with a lemon slice and allow the chicken to cook through before transferring it to a serving platter. Then you'll reduce any leftover cooking liquid along with a tablespoon of butter, chopped parsley, and lemon juice for an extra shot of flavor. Pour your sauce over the chicken before serving. Voila! A beautiful and bright dinner for spring.
