Description
Hunter’s Chicken, also known as Chicken Chasseur, is a delicious and hearty dish featuring chicken thighs cooked in a savory sauce with mushrooms, onions, and white wine.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned.
- Stir in the chicken broth, white wine, tomato paste, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier sauce, stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream just before serving.
- You can substitute the white wine with additional chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.
