- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream

- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano)

Instructions

1. Preparation:

- Add the lemon juice and mixed herbs. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Combine and Finish:
- Place the chicken thighs back into the skillet.
