Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (4-pound) chicken, quartered
Salt and pepper
Clarified butter
5 ounces cremini mushrooms, emincer (thinly sliced)
1 large shallot, ciseler (fine dice)
2 ounces Cognac
2 ounces dry white wine
1 1/2 cups enriched chicken stock
1/4 cup tomato concasse (peeled, seeded, and diced tomato)
1-ounce cold butter
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chervil leaves or flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Season chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of clarified butter in a Dutch oven over high heat. Place chicken in skin side down and cook until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side. Remove chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and saute until golden brown. Add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Cognac and cook until completely reduced. Add the wine and cook until completely reduced. Add the stock and tomato and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon ("nappe") and then swirl in the butter ("monter au beurre"). Once the butter is added, the sauce can not be further reduced because it will break. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the tarragon and chervil.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the breastbone from the breast. Cut each breast into 2 even pieces on the bias. Cut the legs into 2 pieces at the joint and on the bias and remove the thighbones. Serve 1 leg piece and 1 breast piece. Make sure only 1 piece contains a bone. Serve on hot plates, napped with the sauce.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN CHASSEUR



Homemade Chicken Chasseur image

This is a wonderful meal for friends and family. It is actually much better the day after. I use the small, brown Cremini mushrooms, but you can use the white button ones. Serve this with a crisp, romaine salad, some crusty French bread, and country red wine. Times are approximate.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, you can pound them thin to ensure even cooking.
  • Season the Chicken Generously: Don't be afraid to season the chicken well with salt and pepper. This will help develop flavor and prevent the chicken from tasting bland.
  • Cook the Chicken in Batches: If you're cooking a lot of chicken, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine you use in this recipe will play a big role in the final flavor of the dish. Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
  • Reduce the Wine and Broth: Once you've added the white wine and chicken broth to the pan, let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce and concentrate the flavors.
  • Add the Mushrooms and Onions: Once the wine and broth have reduced, add the mushrooms and onions to the pan and cook until they are softened and browned.
  • Stir in the Cream: Finally, stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken, then season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Conclusion:

Chicken Chasseur is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, savory sauce, and mushrooms is sure to satisfy everyone at the table. Serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
