Poulet chasseur, or 'hunter's chicken', is a French braise of chicken pieces in a sauce of mushrooms, shallots, tomato and white wine, finished with fresh tarragon. The chicken turns tender and the glossy sauce is savoury, earthy and herby. It is served hot with potatoes, rice or green beans.

Recipe

4 servings60 min

Ingredients

1.2 kg chicken pieces
250 g mushrooms, sliced
3 shallots, finely chopped
300 g tomatoes, chopped (or 2 tbsp tomato paste)
200 ml dry white wine
200 ml water
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped tarragon
Salt and pepper

Method

Season the chicken and brown it in the olive oil in a casserole; set aside.
Cook the mushrooms in the same pan for 5 minutes, then add the shallots for 2 minutes.
Pour in the white wine and let it bubble for 2–3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and water.
Return the chicken, cover and simmer for 30–35 minutes until cooked through.
Reduce the sauce slightly, stir in the tarragon, season and serve.

How to make it lighter

Use skinless chicken pieces or remove the skin after browning.
Let the wine simmer well; most of the sauce's flavour comes from reduction, not extra fat.
Serve with green beans or steamed potatoes in a measured portion.

History

Chasseur sauce, made with mushrooms, shallots, wine and tomato, is a classic of French cuisine, and the name is usually explained by the mushrooms a hunter might gather in the woods. Chicken chasseur remains a familiar French home and bistro dish.
