We're giving tonight's chicken a quick braise—browning it and briefly simmering it in a flavorful liquid, which thickens into an elegant pan sauce. Our sauce gets sweet-tart notes from verjus (the juice of young wine grapes), balanced by the richness of butter, while roasted walnuts add a nutty flavor and crunch that complement the savory chicken. Served underneath, mashed potatoes round out the meal (and soak up some of the sauce).
