Category : Gourmet
Type : Main course
Difficulty : Beginner
Directions : 20 minutes
Cooking time : 45 minutes
Price range : Just right
Ingredients 8 Number of people
1 whole chicken, broken down into 8 pieces
¼ cup flour (all purpose or whole wheat)
4 shallots, sliced
8 whole cloves garlic, peeled
2 stalks tarragon, whole
1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard, or black mustard seeds work just as well
1 cup white wine, like Chardonnay (something you would drink)
3 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
4 tablespoons chopped parsley or tarragon for garnish
Directions
1. Pre-heat oven to 375F and make sure one of the racks is centered. Heat oil in a large, deep ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and ground pepper then dust with flour, tapping off the excess.
2. Working in batches, brown chicken (skin side down first), flipping once. It might take about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
3. Add shallots and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring moderately until shallots begin to become translucent–about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high, add wine, and then scrape bottom of pan to get up all the brown bits (that’s flavor!).
4. Add in the mustards, tarragon, and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling, return chicken and any juices to the pot, cover and put in the oven. Bake for about 45 minutes.
5. Remove chicken from pot and set aside. Return pot to the stovetop and bring to a boil over high heat. Let liquid reduce by half–approximately 15 minutes. Either return chicken to the pan or pour sauce over chicken on the serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes, broccoli or other greens of your choice.
