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.

    This has been a regular on our menu since it appeared in Feb GF mag. I still can't believe that such a simple recipe with quite basic ingredients can taste so good! Best chick chass ever

    gorgeous! this recipe was much simpler than the last chicken chasseur that i tried (also by james martin), but no less tasty. i used a little less butter and served it with mashed potato and some broccoli that needed eating up. this one will definitely be getting plenty of use, especially in the winter - it was very warming and filling.

    did it with the potatos Dauphinoise, a beautiful mix. Might need some carrots or tomatoes to add some more texture to the sauce. Easy and nice.

    My husband loved it. Very easy to make and it freezes beautifully as well. I will try it without mushrooms next time as I can't eat mushrooms, perhaps peppers I think.

    I've just got my own house and am somewhat of a novice when it comes to cooking. I was looking for a tasty wholesome meal that doesnt take too long to make and is easy so this was perfect. I made it using chicken thighs instead of legs and added carrots. Both myself and my boyfriend thought it was scrummy and will defo be making it again!!

    I made this recipe in florida for the American Legion they have Friday night dinners. It was a huge hit I chaged the name to Chicken Biscuit Casserole, by adding the american version of scones as a topping. I have had many request for the recipe, Just need to convert to llbs and ounces. May I make a suggestion since I am sure there are a lot of Brits that check this site out that dont live in England could you provide a conversion table for those of us that are not on the metric system. Tank you Margaret in Florida

    Not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe was bland and remained very liquidy even after lots of boiling down. I could not get the thyme even with 4 fresh sprigs.
