Categories     Wine     Chicken     Herb     Poultry     Dinner     Simmer     Boil     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 chicken legs
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
15 black peppercorns
1-ounce bunch fresh parsley, leaves and stems separated
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon dry white wine
4 celery stalks, trimmed
4 medium onions, peeled
6 medium carrots, peeled
about 1 tablespoon butter
3/4 pound crimini mushrooms, quartered
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
a dash of soy sauce
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a large pot, place the chicken legs, bay leaves, tarragon, peppercorns, parsley stalks, white wine, and 2 celery stalks. Halve two of the onions and two of the carrots and add to the pan, then pour in enough cold water to cover the legs (about 2 quarts). Cover the pan and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, with the lid half on, for 25 minutes, or until juices in the legs run clear.
  • Remove the chicken legs from the pan and set aside, but keep the stock simmering. Meanwhile, chop the remaining onions, carrot, and celery into small chunks.
  • In a large saucepan over low heat, heat the butter, add the chopped vegetables and a pinch of salt, and sweat for 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, strip the chicken from the bones and set aside. Place the bones, skin, and trimmings back in the simmering stock pot and continue to simmer.
  • Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan with the chopped vegetables and turn up the heat to brown all the ingredients, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook gently for a minute. Strain the stock into a measuring cup and measure out 3 1/3 cups (you can freeze any extra). Add nearly all of the stock and the soy sauce to the pan of vegetables, stirring it in slowly until it comes back to a simmer and thickens. Add a little more stock if it is still too thick- it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Chop the parsley leaves and add to the pan, along with the chicken. Stir in the cream, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling later on.
  • Choose the right wine: Not all white wines are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to choose a dry white wine with a medium body and a crisp acidity. Some good options include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of sear, and you'll end up with soggy, undercooked chicken.
  • Be patient: Searing the chicken takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with undercooked chicken. Be patient and let the chicken cook slowly and evenly until it's golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This chicken with white wine and herbs is a simple but delicious dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the white wine and herbs add a bright and savory flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
