Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 chicken, 3 1/2 pounds, cut into 8 serving pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms
12 pearl white onions, peeled
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup Beaujolais wine
1/2 cup fresh or canned chicken broth

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the chicken pieces skin side down. Cook for about 5 minutes over high heat until nicely browned. Turn the pieces and reduce the heat. Continue cooking to brown evenly all over about 10 minutes more, turning the pieces as necessary.
  • Transfer the chicken to a warm platter and cover with foil.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the butter, mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper and cook, stirring over high heat, about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the shallots, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir. Add the wine and broth, and cook, stirring rapidly with a wire whisk. When smooth use a wooden spatula to scrape off and dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and any juices that may have accumulated around the chicken to the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve with the spatzle.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and rich. I highly recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish was a disaster. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used cremini mushrooms instead of shiitake and they worked well. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I added a squeeze of lemon juice to balance it out.

I'm not a huge fan of Beaujolais, so I substituted red wine instead. The dish still turned out great! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory.

This was a great recipe! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very good. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.

This chicken sauté was a delightful dish! The Beaujolais and mushrooms added a rich, savory flavor to the chicken, and the addition of fresh thyme and parsley brightened up the dish. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.
