Steps

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
• In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the sliced carrots and celery to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken broth and white wine. Stir in the dried thyme and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

• Remove the skillet from the oven and stir in the heavy cream. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
