Directions

Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with ½ 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).

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over medium-low heat until the chicken is very tender, about 50 minutes.

Just before the chicken is done, whisk sour cream, mustard, tomato paste and flour in a small bowl until smooth.

Combine tomatoes, chives, the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and pinch of salt in another small bowl; reserve for garnish.

When the chicken is done, remove to a plate, discarding the thyme sprigs (if using).

Stir the sour cream mixture into the sauce; bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to low, return the chicken to the sauce and reheat, about 1 minute.

Serve garnished with the tomato mixture.
