Method

  1. Heat the oil and half the butter in a large lidded casserole. Season the chicken, then fry for about 5 mins on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan. Add the onion, then fry for about 5 mins until soft. Add garlic, cook for about 1 min, add the mushrooms, cook for 2 mins, then add the wine. Stir in the tomato purée, let the liquid bubble and reduce for about 5 mins, then stir in the thyme and pour over the stock. Slip the chicken back into the pan, then cover and simmer on a low heat for about 1 hr until the chicken is very tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Rapidly boil down the sauce for 10 mins or so until it is syrupy and the flavour has concentrated. Put the chicken legs back into the sauce and serve.

    Very simple and really tasty. A brillian storecupboard meal as had everything apart from fresh thyme, so used dried. Planned on freezing half as suggested on the recipe only my husband saw the leftovers in the pan and helped himself to a second chicken leg pleading it was so scrummy he wanted more! Served with buttery mash and french beans tossed in a little garlic. Would also serve with a baguette if I was short on time.

    Come on James all Chefs know chasseur is made with white wine and coq au vin with red wine. That aside this is a really tasty recipe well worth preparing the day before and reheating when you get back from work. Great with buttered mash and grfeen beans but even better with a crusty French baguette and glass/bottle of Sancerre or Alsace.

    This was easy and very delicious. I used boneless and skinless chicken thighs and they were beautifully tender. I made it with parsnip and carrot mash, but the sweetness of these vegtables didn't go very well. Plain mashed potato would have been better.

    Excellent !! I used chicken breasts (that's all I had) and served them with mashed carrots and potatoes and honey-roast beetroot. The texture of the sauce was just right. A definite for a retry.

    This was great. Easy to make and very tasty. I added carrots and parnips and served with potato and carrot mash which worked well. I didn't boil it down very much at the end though as the sauce was already very tasty and it was nice to have extra juice to go with the mash.

    Have done this recipe twice in the last week. Added some carrots and celery so didn't need any separate vegetables, other than jacket potato. Served with crusty bread. Makes a really tender and tasty meal.

    This sounds great, but can anyone recommend somethiing to use other than mushrooms? My husband is allergic. Or should I just make it without altogether?

    Misha - I would try it without mushrooms, bet its just as good, my kids dont like mushrooms. Maree- I am going to do it in a slow cooker, you can still remove the dish and boil the stock/sauce down. Cant wait to try it

    I used to make Chicken Chasseur years ago and was pleased to see an updated recipe. I used white wine and added some bacon lardons - scrummy! In the past I made it with dry cider when I couldn't afford wine.

    Delicious and completely versatile, I don't like mushrooms so added carrots, celery and a red pepper instead. I cooked it like a casserole in the oven, then transferred the sauce to the hob to reduce, and this worked fine. Perfect with creamy mash. This dish is so easy and requires such little effort I will definitely make it next time friends are round. Also it's a good excuse to open a bottle of red ;o)

    Simply delicious! I took off the skin of the chicken legs so as to reduce its fat contents, and I added some sliced carrots as well. Besides I put in the fried mushrooms towards the end of cooking. It will surely be one of my favourites. Thanks.
