Searching for recipe for chicken thighs last night and found this one almost immediately; did minor changes, as in cooking it stovetop where it only took about 35 min, and using a farmers market fresh packet of snow peas, which I added about 3 min from plating, so they still retained a nice "crunch" factor. Doubled the thyme, using 1/2 when called for and adding the remainder about 20 min from end of cooking time. Also added a dash of red pepper flakes just before serving. Agree with other reviewers who suggest browning the chicken first for more flavor, but it's not a necessary step and does add to your total "hands on" time.
