Preparation and cooking times

Prep 20 mins

Cook 1 hr 30 mins

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.
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.
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.

Made this as a last minute dinner for the family this evening, and it went down very well indeed! Incredibly easy, just chucked everything in! I also added sweet potato chunks and carrots for some added veggies! YUM-O-RAMA! Will be making this again!

We love this recipe! We tried it for a while with the chicken but found it tricky to eat for our toddler, so we switched to beef chasseur, done in the exact same way but with cuts of beef and using beef stock. It's even more delicious!!!

This went down a storm with guests and has received many compliments. I will make time and again. I would however double everything as two guests polished off all the above quantities which were supposedly for 4 people.

Absolutely delicious! I banged everything into a slow cooker( i replaced the mushrooms with big chunky carrot's) it bubbled away nicely for 4 hours (because the slow cooker creates more liquid I used only half the amount of stock) The room was filled with such a mouth watering red wine smell and the chicken melted in your mouth! I cooked it for a dinner party and it went down a storm, I served it with whole grain mustard creamy mash! Perfecto!

I made this at the weekend and everyone loved it - particularly my 10 year old son (who is generally a very small eater), and who asked for seconds. I made it with chicken thighs instead of legs.

Good GOD this was good! I was SO pleased with myself when I taste-tested the finished dish. The mushrooms were AMAZING and the chicken was tender and juicy. I really can't say enough about how good this was. The sauce was....outstanding, really. I made this dish with mashed potatoes and the next day I used some left over sauce to make a small plate of risotto for my toddler (she's particular and won't eat potatoes but LOVES rice!) and she ate TWO helpings! Yay!!! I would really like to try this recipe with carrots and celery as suggested by the other posters here. I'm so happy I found this site!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely. I used skinless chicken breasts and more oil/less butter to cut the fat content and threw in some carrots to up the vegetable content.

Lovely taste, but did anyone find that the sauce was a little oily at the end?

My husband cooked this for me tonight. It was absolutely delicious. In the 9 years we have been together he has cooked for me only a handful of times and i have to say that this is one the highlights! So much so he scored 12 out of 10!! I'm sure this will be cooked again in our household!

Yummy! This was lovely, so easy to prepare, didn't change anything. Reducing the sauce at the end made such a difference, it was so rich and silky. A great mid week eat, or for when having friends over for a casual dinner. I served it with mashed potatoes and curly kale. Can't wait to have the leftovers. Thanks
