Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • salt to taste

  • 2 pheasants, rinsed, patted dry, and cut into pieces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, sliced into rings

  • 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

  • 1 cup white wine

  • 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

  1. Place flour, pepper, and salt into a resealable plastic bag; shake to combine. Add pheasant pieces to flour mixture; shake until evenly coated.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from pheasant pieces; add to skillet. Cook until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to a slow cooker, reserving oil in the skillet.

  4. Add wine to skillet; bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes, then add chicken broth; return to a boil. Transfer mushroom mixture to the slow cooker; sprinkle with black olives.

  5. Cover slow cooker; cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 7 hours.
