This is my recipe for a French classic, made even more luscious with the rich flavors of Brodo Hearth Bone Broth.

If you enjoy it when someone walks into the kitchen and says, “Wow, it smells soooo good in here!” this recipe is for you. Most of the cook time is hands off so you can enjoy the aroma while getting other stuff done around the house. We won’t tell anyone if “getting stuff done around the house” means catching up on your favorite TV show or starting that new book you’ve been meaning to read. Whatever you do while the chicken is simmering away, you’ll end up with a delicious, nourishing meal.

  1. Sauté the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook the mushrooms until they release all their liquid and take on a bit of browning (10-12 minutes). Set aside

  2. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Brown the chicken on all sides (do this in batches and don't overcrowd). Add more oil as needed - there should always be a 1/2 inch layer of oil in the pan.

  3. Once chicken is browned, add garlic, fresh thyme, bay leaves, and the rest of the chicken to the pan and stir.

  4. Add the wine and shake the pan. The pan should be very hot and the wine should come to a rapid boil. Make sure all the chicken gets bathed in wine. Set aside.

  5. In a braising pan or large shallow pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes then add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Stir to coat and sauté for another 2 minutes.

  6. Add the browned chicken (including the wine and drippings), the mushrooms, and the Hearth Brodo .

  7. Stir and set to a simmer. Cover, but leave the lid slightly ajar, and cook for 2 hours - gently stirring every 30 minutes.
