Description
A cozy, one-pan French classic, Chicken Chasseur is made with tender bone-in chicken simmered in a savory mushroom, tomato, and herb sauce. Perfect for a comforting family dinner or a dish to impress without the stress.
Ingredients
-
3 russet potatoes (optional, for mashed potatoes)
-
4 tablespoons butter, divided
-
4 tablespoons olive oil
-
3 pounds bone-in chicken pieces
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
-
¼ cup shallots, diced
-
1½ tablespoons garlic, minced
-
½ cup chicken stock (replace for wine)
-
3 tablespoons tomato paste
-
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
-
1½ cups chicken stock
-
½ cup beef stock
-
¼ cup sour cream
-
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
-
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Optional: prepare mashed potatoes if using.
-
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken 8 minutes per side. Remove and cover.
-
In the same pan, add remaining olive oil. Sauté mushrooms for 3 minutes, then add shallots and garlic. Cook 1 more minute.
-
Add extra chicken stock in place of wine and deglaze the pan. Stir in tomato paste, diced tomatoes, both stocks, and sour cream. Simmer until thickened.
-
Stir in tarragon and remaining butter. Return chicken to the pan and simmer 5 more minutes.
-
Garnish with parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
For a wine-free version, simply replace the white wine and cognac with extra chicken stock and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Boneless chicken works too—just adjust cook time to avoid drying it out.
Great for meal prep: leftovers reheat well and taste even better the next day!
