Enjoy this Herb Roasted Chicken in Creamy White Wine Sauce Bliss. It’s a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for weeknights or special gatherings.
Ingredients
- For the Chicken: 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken, 2 tablespoons butter for browning
- For the Sauce: 8 ounces brown mushrooms, 2 medium shallots (or yellow onion), 2 stalks celery, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 cup dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc), 2 cups chicken stock, 1 cup cream (or half-and-half)
- For the Potatoes: 1.5 pounds baby gold or red potatoes
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper, including under the skin.
- Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown chicken pieces, skin-side down, for 3-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add mushrooms, shallots, and celery to the pot. Cook for about 7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well.
- Pour in white wine to deglaze the pot. Gradually add chicken stock, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Add baby potatoes to the sauce and place the browned chicken on top.
- Transfer the Dutch oven to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Stir in the cream until well combined. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for added color and flavor.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers for 2-3 days.
- Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream if the sauce is too thick.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
- Consider adding sautéed spinach or Parmesan cheese to the sauce for extra richness.
- Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, garlic butter green beans, or crusty bread.
