  • 2 medium shallots Milder than onions, adds sweetness.
  • 1 stalk celery Optional, but a flavorful addition.
  • 4 cloves garlic Fresh for best results.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat dry the bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the chicken pieces skin-side down for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and brown the other side.
  3. Remove the browned chicken and set aside. In the same Dutch oven, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté sliced mushrooms, chopped shallots, diced celery, and minced garlic for about 7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the vegetables and stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in 1 cup of white wine, deglazing the pot.
  5. Slowly add 1.5 cups of chicken stock, stirring and bringing to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Add halved baby potatoes and nestle the browned chicken on top. Roast uncovered in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup of cream after removing from the oven. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
