Title: Chicken Thighs w/Mushrooms & Shallots
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Mushrooms, Wine, Dairy
Yield: 3 Servings

1 tb Olive oil
3 lb Skin-on, bone-in chicken
- thighs; trimmed
1/2 ts Salt
1 lb Cremini or button mushrooms;
- + a couple sliced shiitake
- mushrooms, if available
1/2 c Chopped shallots
3/4 ts Dried tarragon
+=OR=+
2 ts Chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 c Chicken stock
1/2 c Dry white wine
2 tb Heavy whipping cream
Fresh ground black pepper
1 tb Chopped fresh parsley

Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

BROWN THE CHICKEN ON THE STOVETOP: Heat olive oil in a
large wide skillet on medium high heat. Pat dry the
chicken pieces and lay them skin-side down in the pan to
brown. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook without
moving the chicken (allowing them to brown) until they
are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.

BAKE THE CHICKEN IN THE OVEN: Place the chicken pieces
skin-side up in a roasting pan. Roast for 13 to 15
minutes.

SAUT+ë MUSHROOMS: While the chicken is roasting, thickly
slice the mushrooms. Remove all but 1 Tbsp of the fat in
the pan (do not put down the drain or you will clog your
pipes). Heat the pan on medium high heat and add the
mushrooms to the pan. Stir to coat with the fat in the
pan.

ADD SHALLOTS & TARRAGON: Cook for a couple of minutes
until the mushrooms begin to brown and release some of
their water. When the mushrooms are glossy, add the
chopped shallots and tarragon and stir. Cook for another
minute.

Add stock, wine, then cream: Add the stock and the white
wine to the pan and increase the heat to high. Let the
liquid reduce by half. Taste and if it needs salt, add
1/4 ts or more of salt. Sprinkle with black pepper.

Stir in the cream. Lower temp to medium. Let simmer for
a minute.

SERVE: To serve, place the mushroom shallot sauce in the
bottom of a serving dish. Place the chicken pieces on
top. If there are any drippings in the baking pan, pour
them over the chicken. Sprinkle with parsley.

Yield: Serves 3 to 4
