Method

1. Dry the chicken thighs and sear them in the olive oil skin side down 5 minutes, until deep golden, then lift out.
2. Cook the carrot, cut thin, in the pan fat 3 minutes, until the edges color.
3. Add the finely shredded cabbage and let it wilt 2 minutes, then stir in the dried thyme.
4. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, set the thighs on top and simmer covered for 14 minutes, until the chicken reads 165°F (74°C).
5. Stir the dijon mustard and the lemon juice through the pan the moment it is off the heat.
6. Keeps four days in its juices, freezes two months; warm it covered in a pan over low heat, the mustard stirred in fresh after thawing.
