Ingredients

• 4 bone-in chicken thighs
• 2 bone-in chicken breasts, halved crosswise and skinned
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp black pepper, divided
• 2 tsp canola oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrot
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1 tbsp. minced fresh garlic
• 2 cups dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp. chopped fresh tarragon
• 3 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, divided
• 1 tbsp. Dijon
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325.

2. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add half of chicken to pan, flesh side down. Cook 4 minutes or until browned; remove from pan. Repeat with remaining chicken. Set chicken aside.

3. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic to pan; cook 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine; cook 2 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return chicken to pan, flesh side up. Combine stock and flour in a bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add stock mixture to pan.

4. Stir in tarragon, 2 tbsp. parsley, Dijon, and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. Cover and bake at 325 for 45 minutes or until chicken is done and very tender. Remove pan from oven. Remove chicken from pan and top with 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Keep warm. Heat pan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 3 cups. Whisk in butter, remaining 1/4 tsp salt and remaining 1/4 tsp pepper. Discard bay leaf.

5. Preheat broiler.

6. Arrange tomatoes in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan; lightly coat with cooking spray. Broil 6 minutes or until blistered. Sprinkle chicken with tomatoes, crumbled bacon and remaining 1 tbsp. parsley. Serve with sauce.
