Total Time:
1 hour 20 minutes

Step 1: Break up the chicken

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 25 g shallots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp white wine
  • 120 g small mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
  • 100 ml chicken stock
  • 2 tsp fresh tarragon
  • a knob of butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 sauté or frying pans
  • 1 knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 fork

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Set the oven to 220ºC (425ºF/ gas mark 7).

Step 3: Season the chicken

First pour on a little olive oil then season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Pan fry the chicken

Heat the pan to medium and fry ONLY the skinned side of the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until light brown.

Step 5: Put the chicken in the oven

When lightly brown, transfer the pan to the oven and continue to cook for 15 minutes.

It is best to place the pan on the floor of the oven.

Step 6: Turn the chicken

After 15 minutes, turn the chicken over and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Step 7: Start making the sauce

Meanwhile start preparing the sauce. Put the olive oil into the frying pan and heat for a few minutes then add the mushrooms and a knob of butter.

Step 8: Saute the shallots

Add the shallots to the heated oil and sauté for a minute or two then add the garlic and season with salt and pepper.

Step 9: Add the wine

Pour in the white wine and allow to cook for about half a minute.

Step 10: Add the stock

Add the tomatoes and the chicken stock and continue to stir everything together. Leave the ingredients to simmer and reduce by about a third.

Step 11: Finish off the sauce

Finally, stir in the fresh tarragon and the knob of butter to complete the sauce.

Step 12: Serve and enjoy!

To serve, put the chicken on the plate first and follow this by pouring the freshly cooked sauce over the top. Voilá, a perfect Chicken Chasseur, the VideoJug way!

    this wasn't done the corret way as you need to use the whole chicken to get all of the flavour and cook the chicken and the sauce in the same pan. when the chicken is ready you should remove from the pan and on a tray and back in the oven to keep is hot as you are making the sauce in the pan that you cooked the chicken in. that is where all of the flavour is and will be in your sauce as well. enjoy

    The wine is crucial, and in fact the traditional method calls for a lot more wine, about a third of a bottle...I would recommend a wooded chardonnay
