Return the chicken thighs to the pot, arranging them in a single layer, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot tightly and simmer for 15 minutes. 3. Remove the lid and cook, uncovered, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste and add the mint leaves. Pour the sauce over the chicken thighs and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicken Thighs with Saffron, Green Olives, and Mint &nbsp; Flour for dredging 12 chicken thighs (2 1\/2 to 3 pounds), rinsed and patted dry salt and freshly ground black pepper 1\/4 cup EVOO 2 large red onions, thinly sliced 1\/2 tsp. saffron threads 1 cup small green olives 1 medium carrot, finely chopped 3 cups chicken stock 1\/2 cup fresh mint leaves &nbsp; Spread the four on a plate.
