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.

    Why is this called 'one-pot' chicken chasseur, if you have to cook mash and other veg separately to serve? To me, a one-pot dish is where everything is in it and you don't have to cook any other accompaniments. Anyway, having said that, it does sound delicious.

    Lovely recipe. I thought it would be like coq au vin but it is much nicer. I added a red pepper and served with new potatoes and broccoli. Daphne

    This was gorgeous!!! So tasty and very easy to make. Used chicken breast and substituted carrots for the mushrooms but the end result was delicious. Not sure that it would have served 4 though - we felt it was just enough for 2. Bought some bread to 'mop' up the left over sauce but there wasn't any! Will definatly be cooking this again and again.

    Absolutely delicious - all the family said they loved it and it has already been added to my Good Food folder for next time. Being a scaredy cat at cooking I threw caution to the wind and added a carrot and a stick of celery that needed using up - and it was still wonderful!! I served little roasted potatoes in olive oil. garlic and rosemary and green peas. Not a scrap left over. Another excellent recipe to add to my growing repetoire! Thank you!
