Chicken Chasseur

  • Today was a calm day, just a lot of feeding and changing. James had work so he missed the game. But I sent him this to cheer him up!
    I'm not a big texans fan so I'll be putting her in her packers outfit next weekend :)

    For dinner tonight I made a Chicken Chasseur which means Hunter's Chicken.
    First I heavily salt and peppered 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast cutlets
    Then cut into them into large pieces
  • Floured the pieces 
  • Then added 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a large pan and put in the chicken pieces
    Browned on each side
    Then put them on a plate 
    Next I added 3 tablespoons of butter to the pan
    Then I put in the pan carrots, peeled and finely chopped, a handful of chopped baby Bella mushrooms, shallots finely chopped plus some onion because my shallots were too small, large cloves garlic finely chopped
    Stirred and added salt and pepper
    Cooked for a few mins till softened then added 1/4 cup brandy to deglaze
  • Once that was cooked in I added 1/2 cup of white wine
    Then 2 cups of chicken stock
  • 1 14 1/2 ounce can of petite diced tomatoes
  • tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • Then added back in the chicken and brought to a boil for 10 mins till it thickened.
    For the side I boiled half a bag of extra-wide egg noodles and put in a pat of butter in the bowl with the noodles.
    To serve I put on the plate some noodles and spooned the chicken and some of the sauce. Then chopped up some parsley and sprinkled on top.
