One of my favorite recipes because of the nice cream sauce and dark meat chicken. A classic French recipe.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs with skin

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 (6 ounce) package portobello mushroom caps

  • 1 tomato, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons white cooking wine, or to taste

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • ¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pot over medium heat. Add chicken thighs, Italian seasoning, and garlic; cook until chicken is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Mix mushrooms and tomato into chicken mixture; reduce heat, cover pot, and cook until mushrooms are softened, about 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.

  3. Drain accumulated juices from chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture into a separate saucepan and transfer chicken-mushroom-tomato mixture to the prepared baking dish.

  4. Pour wine into saucepan with juices and bring to a boil. Add cream and Gruyere cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.

  5. Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved; mix into cream sauce until smooth and thickened. Pour sauce over chicken-vegetable mixture; top with onion.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
