4. Sprinkle flour on the onions and cook for 2 min (you're making a roux (sp?) so use your judgement on the length of time. Longer makes it more nutty-flavored). Add wine and boil for 1 minute. Add chicken, mushrooms, broth and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer and simmer covered for 45-50 min.
5. Transfer chicken and vegetables to a plate. Strain the cooking liquid, skim off the fat and then reduce the liquid by one-third. Return everthingto the casserole and simmer for 3-4 min to heat through.
