Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken Provides maximum moisture and flavor
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Substitute with olive oil for dairy-free option
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms Brown mushrooms enhance earthiness
  • 2 medium Shallots Sweet onion flavor; yellow onion works in a pinch
  • 2 stalks Celery Creates an aromatic base
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced to enhance flavor
  • 1 tablespoon Sage Fresh herbs that compliment the chicken
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley Optional to mix with rosemary or thyme
  • 2 tablespoons Flour Thickens the sauce; cornstarch is gluten-free substitute
  • 1 cup White Wine Adds depth; chicken stock mixed with lemon juice is non-alcoholic alternative
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock Vegetable stock is a perfect substitute
  • 1 pound Baby Potatoes Adds heartiness; swap with butternut squash for seasonal flair
  • 1/2 cup Cream Provides a luxurious finish; half and half works too

Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt butter and brown the chicken skin-side down for 5 minutes.
  3. Flip the chicken and brown the other side for 3-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Sauté chopped mushrooms, shallots, celery, and minced garlic in the same pot for 7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir for a minute, then add white wine and deglaze the pot.
  6. Gradually add chicken stock and stir until the sauce thickens.
  7. Add baby potatoes and nestle the browned chicken in the sauce. Cover and roast for 40-45 minutes.
  8. Check with a meat thermometer for doneness (165°F / 74°C). Stir in cream after roasting and let rest for 10 minutes.
  9. Serve the chicken with creamy sauce ladled over it and enjoy!
