Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
3 teaspoons minced fresh marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons marjoram, dry mustard and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary in small bowl until paste forms. Rub paste all over chicken. Place in bowl; chill 2 hours or overnight.

Add wine, broth, Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons marjoram and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary to pot. Bring to boil. Return chicken to pot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer until chicken is cooked, about 25 minutes.
