Hunter’s Chicken

1 hour 10 minutes | easy | Serves 4

This classic stew is known as chicken chasseur and is famous for its tender meat and mushroom infused sauce. We like to add extra mushroom flavour to our sauce by rehydrating porcini mushrooms, which bring a lot of extra depth and richness. You could always leave them out if you’d like to keep the dish lighter.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone in, skin on chicken thighs
  • 5g dried porcini mushrooms
  • 500g chestnut or button mushrooms
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
  • 250ml white wine
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • Finely chopped chives, to garnish

Directions

1.

Cover

Cover the dried mushrooms with boiling water and set aside.

5.

Simmer

Simmer for 1 hour until the chicken is very tender.

This dish is perfect served with some grilled jacket potatoes, new potatoes or rice. Cooking it in the skillet means you can serve it in the centre of the table for everyone to help themselves.
