Chicken With Herb Wine Sauce (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 1 whole chicken cut into 8 pieces (or try 4 pieces with skin-on breasts or 6 thighs with bones)
02 - 1 tablespoon kosher salt, spread out
03 - 1 teaspoon black pepper, spread out
04 - 3 tablespoons salted butter

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 cup brown mushrooms, cut in half
06 - 3 shallots, chopped small
07 - 2 medium stalks celery, cut up
08 - 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
09 - 1 pound tiny yellow potatoes, sliced in half

→ Sauce

10 - 1/4 cup regular flour
11 - 1/2 cup dry white wine
12 - 2 cups chicken stock
13 - 1/4 cup cream
14 - 1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage
15 - 2 teaspoons chopped parsley

# Instructions:

01 - Heat your oven to 325°F. Rub salt and pepper all over the chicken, getting some under the skin too.
02 - Heat up the butter in a Dutch oven on medium-high. Cook chicken till golden, about 3-5 minutes each side. Take it out and put aside.
03 - Throw in mushrooms, shallots, celery and garlic. Let them cook until mushrooms get juicy, roughly 7 minutes. Mix in herbs and spices.
04 - Sprinkle in flour, then pour wine to scrape up the tasty bits. Slowly pour in stock while stirring until it looks like a thin gravy.
05 - Add the potatoes, place chicken on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until chicken hits 165°F. Add cream at the end and let sit 10 minutes before you dig in.

# Notes:

01 - You can swap in different chicken pieces if you want
02 - Save the cream for the last step so it won't curdle
03 - Letting it rest makes the meat extra juicy
