Ingredients
Scale
1 whole Chicken (Alternatively, use 4 skin-on breasts or 8 bone-in thighs.)
4 tbsp Butter (For browning the chicken.)
8 oz Mushrooms (Brown mushrooms, consider cremini or shiitake.)
2 medium Shallots (Mild onion flavor, can substitute with yellow onion.)
1 stalk Celery (Optional but recommended.)
4 cloves Garlic (Fresh cloves preferred.)
2 tbsp Sage (Fresh herb, substitute with rosemary if desired.)
2 tbsp Parsley (Can be switched for thyme.)
2 tbsp Flour (For thickening the sauce.)
1 cup Dry White Wine (Options include Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.)
2 cups Chicken Stock (Vegetable stock can be used for vegetarian option.)
1 cup Cream (Consider half-and-half for a lighter sauce.)
1 lb Baby Potatoes (Can be replaced with baby reds or butternut squash.)
Instructions
Season and brown the chicken by thoroughly seasoning with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then brown the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side.
Sauté sliced mushrooms, minced shallots, diced celery, and minced garlic in the Dutch oven for 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with salt, pepper, chopped sage, and parsley.
Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stir for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Pour in dry white wine, scraping browned bits from the bottom.
Gradually add chicken stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
Add baby potatoes, cover them with sauce. Place the browned chicken on top and roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes.
Stir in cream after roasting, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
