Chicken Thighs in Champagne Sauce


Wednesday 7 December
This is one of our favorite recipes for chicken. 

We didn't have any sausage, so we did without; but we did have the special little white turnips we got from the Farmer's market.  They were the same kind we had had at Holt's birthday dinner at Chez Panisse, so we were going to treat them with respect.
We used four chicken thighs patted with fresh thyme, plus a little sliced onion, chopped garlic, sliced carrot, and parsley; the tinier turnips only needed to be halved, not cut into batons as we usually do. 

The dish was as savory and delicious as usual, and the turnips were so moist the flavor exploded in your mouth.  We are no Chez Panisse, but we do pretty well.
