Makes: 4  servings
Prep:   25 mins 
Cook:   50 mins 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 bag (10 oz.) pearl onions
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 whole chicken (3-1/2 lbs.), cut into 8 pieces, skin removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 ounce can (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 celery rib, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs

Directions

1. Bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Add onions and cook 30 seconds; drain. Rinse onions under cold water. Remove a thin slice from the root end of each and slip off outer skins.

2. Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, and pepper in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and shake to coat.

3. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken; reduce heat to medium and cook until chicken is well browned on both sides. Repeat with remaining chicken. Set aside. Add mushrooms to pan and cook 5 minutes, stirring until liquid has evaporated.

4. Add broth, wine, and cream to saucepan with mushrooms (mixture may look curdled). Add onions, chicken, carrot, celery, remaining salt and poultry seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally until chicken is tender, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with herbs just before serving. Makes 4 servings.

Tip
  • Second Meal Secret:  Cut up leftover chicken, removing all bones, and reheat with additional broth to lighten this stew into a soup.
