Ingredients
-
4 lbs. Chicken
1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 lb. pearl onions
1 tbsp butter
1/2 lb mushrooms
2 tbsp flour
3 c. dry red wine
1c. chicken broth
bouquet garni

Tips
Get a good french cookbook.
Bouquet garni can be bought as a bundle, or you can make your own. There are no hard and fast rules about what to include, but should be french-style herbs like tarragon, rosemary, peppercorns, bay leaves, etc. These get tied up in a bit of cheesecloth, so that you can remove it later before serving.
Directions
1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Fry in heavy frying pan for 10-12 min over medium high heat until golden brown. Transfer to plate and set aside.
2. Heat oil in large casserole over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook, covered until evenly browned, stirring frequently.
3. In a heavy frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and saute the mushrooms
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.
