This is a great recipe if you are entertaining. It was given to me by my great friend in the UK - Mark aka MGB. It is a really rich dish and the presentation is fantastic. Everyone loves it, and is amazed that there is no stock in the sauce.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 lb) chicken, quartered
4 ounces butter
oil
4 shallots, finely chopped
7 ounces mushrooms, sliced
12 ounces lager beer (not Budweiser!) or 12 ounces premium beer (not Budweiser!)
1 ounce gin
salt and pepper
10 ounces single cream
2 tablespoons Guinness stout
fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Sauté the chicken pieces in 2 oz of butter and a little oil.
  • Add the shallots and the mushrooms and continue to cook.
  • When they are well browned, pour over the beer and the gin, season with salt and pepper and simmer on a gentle heat for about an hour, or until the chicken is tender.
  • Shortly before serving, arrange the chicken pieces in separate a deep dish and keep hot.
  • On a high heat, reduce the sauce by about half, then add the cream to thicken sauce, with the rest of the butter, whisking all the while.
  • Whisk in the Guinness (it really makes a lot of difference), then pour back over the chicken and sprinkle the parsley.
  • Serve with fresh pasta (I use shells, as they hold the sauce).
