Introduction

I avoided the bacon, I would recommend herbs de Provence. This is a loose interpretation of a classic dish so alter it to your liking. I avoided the bacon, I would recommend herbs de Provence. This is a loose interpretation of a classic dish so alter it to your liking.

Ingredients

    2 tbsp butter
    Shallot (or just an onion, if you prefer)
    Garlic
    1/2 c. Mushrooms
    1 lb. Chicken thighs (NOT chicken breasts!!)
    2 tbsp flour (I'd strongly suggest not using whole wheat)
    2-6 oz. red wine (seriously, buy the cheap stuff)
    2 c. Chicken stock/broth
    Carrots (when I'm feeling lazy, I just use the baby carrots)
    Potatoes (I prefer fingerling)
    Herbs de provence (or use the ones I listed)
    Salt (to your liking)


Tips

I cook mine in a small dutch oven.


Directions

In a decent sized pot, on medium-low (or medium depending on your stove) melt the butter, add the garlic and shallots. Then add the mushrooms.Cook for about a minute and add the chicken. Cook until the chicken has browned a bit then add the flour. Cook a few minutes then add the red wine (I use cheap burgundy that comes in a jug), I like to cook it in the wine for a bit, always seemed to get best results. Then add the chicken stock. It should be a bit thick. I like to let it cook for about 20-25 minutes then add the carrots, potatoes and the rest of the herbs. And then just let it simmer until the chicken is cooked to my liking, usually about 30 minutes. If you like your vegetables a bit crispier, add it in about 20 minutes before you serve. This goes great with a nice baguette or brioche and some butter.
