Technique to learn

Pan Deglazing

Pouring broth into a hot pan after searing meat to dissolve browned caramel bits and build a rich sauce base.

Instructions

Step 1: Season chicken thighs evenly on both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Step 3: Sear chicken thighs for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to a side plate.

Step 4: Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat, add sliced leeks and crushed caraway seeds, and cook for 5 minutes until soft.

Step 5: Pour in halal chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan, then reduce heat to low and whisk in sour cream until smooth.

Step 6: Return chicken thighs and accumulated juices to the skillet and simmer gently for 6 to 8 minutes until fully cooked before stirring in fresh dill.
