Description

A simple method for preparing classic French chicken stew in a single pot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken pieces, bone-in, skin-on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces bacon or lardons, diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine (like Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides; remove and set aside.
  3. Add the bacon to the pot and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon bits, leaving the rendered fat.
  4. Add the onion and carrots to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute.
  7. Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in the red wine, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf. The liquid should mostly cover the chicken.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter and flour together to create a smooth paste (beurre manié).
  10. Remove the chicken and set it aside. Discard the bay leaf.
  11. Whisk the beurre manié into the simmering sauce, a little at a time, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  12. Return the chicken and the reserved bacon bits to the pot. Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes to heat through. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the wine overnight before cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, use slightly more beurre manié.
