Prepare the seasoning by mixing the fresh thyme, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper in a little bowl. Sprinkle generously over your chicken thighs, making sure to coat evenly, and keep any remaining seasoning to the side to use later.
Add the oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add your chicken thighs and cook for several minutes on each side until crispy and browned on the outside and completely cooked through on the inside. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes until softened. Then add the lemon juice, chicken stock, and any remaining seasoning mix, stir well to combine, and allow to bubble for a few minutes.
Add the crème fraiche, stir through, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to thicken. Then add the chicken thighs back into the pan and allow to heat up for a few minutes.
Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of thyme. Serve with quinoa and enjoy immediately or portion up for meal prep.
