Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season chicken with salt and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear on all sides until golden brown. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

03

Step

Add shallots to the skillet and cook until beginning to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and mushrooms and cook and stir until mushrooms begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

04

Step

Stir in Chicken Broth and white wine; add bay leaf and fresh thyme. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and cook over low heat until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaf.

05

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cream until smooth. Stir the mixture into the chicken and sauce. Cook and stir over medium heat until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

For an even richer flavor, consider using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Sear the chicken skin-side down first to render the fat and create a crispy skin.
Experiment with different types of wild mushrooms for a unique flavor profile. Dried porcini mushrooms, rehydrated in warm water, can also be added for an intense umami boost. Be sure to strain the soaking liquid and add it to the sauce as well.
Serve this dish over creamy polenta, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes to soak up the delectable sauce.
