COUNTRY FRENCH CHICKEN



Country French Chicken image

Adapted from Rachael Ray - 30 minute meals - A combination of boneless skinless tenderloins or breasts and thighs well lend to a more rustic, "cooked all day" taste. A very comforting meal on a cold day.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, chopped or 1/4 cup very finely chopped onion

1 cup dry red wine
1 (32 ounce) can diced tomatoes in tomato puree or 1 (32 ounce) whole tomatoes, hand squeezed

Saute for 3 to 5 mnutes until mushrooms darken and carrot bits are fork tender. Add tarragon and parsley and stir. Add wine and reduce liquid for 1 or 2 minutes.

  • NOTE: Rachael recommended using a combination of both boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs as it lends to a "cooked all day taste".

Tips:

- To achieve a perfectly browned chicken, ensure the skillet is searing hot before adding the chicken pieces. Allow them to sear undisturbed for several minutes to develop a beautiful golden crust. - For a rich and flavorful mushroom sauce, use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, to create a symphony of textures and flavors. - Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the mushrooms. Cook them in batches if necessary to prevent steaming and ensure they brown properly. - Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine, such as a Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, will add a subtle acidity and depth of flavor to the sauce. - Be patient when reducing the sauce. Allow it to simmer gently over medium heat until it has thickened and reduced by about half. This concentration of flavors will result in a rich and flavorful sauce. - Serve the French Country Chicken with Mushroom Sauce immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives, for a delightful and comforting meal.
