  • 2 medium shallots Yellow onions can be a substitute if needed.
  • 1 stalk celery Optional, but highly recommended for added flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the bone-in, skin-on chicken cuts dry using paper towels, ensuring the skin gets crispy. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down and sear for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and brown the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add chopped mushrooms, minced shallots, diced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 7 minutes until softened and translucent.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring well. Pour in the dry white wine and scrape the browned bits from the pot. Gradually add chicken stock while stirring continuously for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Stir in the baby potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated with the sauce. Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot, cover, and roast in a preheated oven at 375°F for 40-45 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Once roasted, carefully remove the pot from the oven. Stir in the cream, cover again, and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  7. Ladle servings of the chicken, potatoes, and sauce onto warm plates. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

For best results, separate the sauce from the chicken if storing for an extended period to prevent the sauce from thickening too much.
