Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided (¼ stick)
  • 2½ pounds bone-in chicken leg quarters separated
  • 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt divided; plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 ounces cremini mushrooms quartered
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup dry red wine
  • 1¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 sprigs thyme
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large, deep sauté pan, heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken on all sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and all of the pepper, then cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining butter.
  4. Add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  5. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the mushrooms. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are browned.
  6. Stir in the tomato paste and flour and cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the red wine and bring it to a simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
  7. Stir in the broth, thyme, parsley, and the remaining salt and pepper.
  8. Nestle the chicken and any juices back into the pan, then top with the tomatoes.
  9. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30-45 minutes until the chicken is tender.
  10. Taste and season the sauce as desired, thickening it uncovered if desired, then serve garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Storage: Store chicken chasseur in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • You can also make this recipe with chicken thighs or chicken breasts; just make sure not to overcook the chicken.
  • Properly cooked chicken is 165°F internally.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best taste.
