- 3 lbs chicken pieces (bone-in, thighs, drumsticks and or breasts, skin removed, trimmed)

- 7 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup minced shallot
- 16 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/3 cup sherry wine vinegar or 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

Method
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil and butter in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add half the chicken pieces and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a large plate. Add 2 teaspoons oil to the pot. Add the remaining chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to the plate.
- Heat 2 more teaspoons oil. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in broth and then carefully nestle the thyme sprigs among the chicken pieces (or stir in dry thyme).
