Chicken chasseur (Frenchy chicken stew with tomatoes and butter)
recipe by Adam Ragusea (@aragusea)
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken
- Chicken fat or cooking oil (estimate: 2 tbsp)
- 1 pint white button mushrooms
- 1 carrot
- 1-2 shallots (estimate: 1/4 cup)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Flour (for coating, estimate: 1/4 cup)
- Cognac (estimate: 1/2 cup)
- 1 small can of tomatoes (estimate: 14 oz can)
- Chicken stock (enough to cover, estimate: 2 cups)
- Soy sauce (estimate: 1 tbsp)
- Butter (estimate: 3-4 tbsp)
- Fresh tarragon (estimate: 1 tbsp, chopped)
- Egg noodles (as needed for serving)
Steps:
1
Begin by starting with a whole chicken. Grab the two big chunks of fat at the opening of the cavity and throw them in the pan to render for cooking fat. Alternatively, you can use oil.
2
Chop up a pint of mushrooms into quarters and one carrot, then add to the pan to start cooking in the rendered fat.
3
After the mushrooms are nearly done, add finely chopped shallots into the pan. Meanwhile, start breaking down your chicken into pieces.
4
Season the chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper, then lightly coat with flour.
5
Push vegetables to one side of the pan and add more cooking fat if needed. Place chicken in the pan, skin side down, and cook until gently browned.
6
Once the chicken is browned, deglaze the pan with cognac. Add a small can of tomatoes and enough chicken stock to cover everything. Drop in some of the bones from breaking down the chicken for extra flavor. Cover and simmer for about an hour.
7
After simmering and the chicken is tender, remove the pieces from the pan. Then finish the sauce by reducing it until thick, which may take about twenty minutes.
8
To finish the sauce, add a bit of soy sauce for additional seasoning. After the heat is killed and bubbling stops, melt in a generous amount of butter.
9
Return the chicken pieces to the pan, minus the inedible parts. Spoon sauce over the pieces to reheat, and add fresh tarragon for a French flavor.
10
Serve the chicken chasseur with egg noodles cooked according to package instructions, and if desired, buttered to keep warm.
