1 cup thinly sliced onion |
2 dried hot red chiles, sliced |
2 bay leaves, crumbled |
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, divided |
3/4 cup dry vermouth, divided |
braised leeks |
5 tablespoons butter, divided |
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh italian parsley |
1/2 cup finely diced shallots |
1/2 cup dijon mustard |
1 large egg |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |

Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients with 2 tablespoons thyme and 1/4 cup vermouth in a large bowl, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Prepare Braised Leeks, set aside.
3. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; cook 3 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in breadcrumbs, parsley, and 1 tablespoon thyme. Set aside.
4. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; add shallots and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Sauté 2 minutes or until shallots are translucent. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup vermouth. Simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Transfer to a bowl; cool 10 minutes. Whisk in mustard and next 3 ingredients; set aside.
5. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade, and pat dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook 6 minutes or until deep golden brown. Turn, and cook 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; discard excess drippings from pan.
6. Stir in chicken stock, scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze pan. Pour sauce over Braised Leeks; set aside.
