Chicken Recipes In English Pdf

Chicken Chasseur or Hunter’s Chicken is one of the most popular French chicken recipes. It contains simple ingredients like bone-in chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, wine, and herbs. It’s very easy to make and looks as amazing as it tastes. Serve it to your guests or family, tell them that it’s Chicken Chasseur and you’ll impress everybody. But once they’ve actually sunken their teeth into it, I guarantee they’ll be speechless (that happened in my house). How does that sound?

Ever since I made this Chicken Provencal with Shallots and Garlic I thought it was my favorite French chicken recipe; now we have a debate. Make both and weigh in on this debate.

Chicken Chasseur is a classic French chicken recipe. It’s also known as Hunter’s Chicken. As a matter of fact, the direct translation of “Chasseur” is “Hunter.” So, at time of inception what would happen is the hunters would bring home game meat, along with any mushrooms that they’d found on the way, and they’d cook this amazing dish with the ingredients they’d collected. Even though the name sounds fancy, this dish is very rustic and comforting.

The list of ingredients in this hunters chicken is short, but there is no shortage of taste. The combination of mushrooms, tomatoes with cognac, wine and herbs (like tarragon and parsley) makes for a very complex and beautiful flavor profile.

There are a couple of different techniques that can be used to prepare this dish. One of them is that everything is done in a single pot; meaning that the chicken is braising with the sauce on a stove top.

Another is that you sear the chicken in a pan on both sides and then cover it and move it to the oven to finish cooking. Then you’d prepare the chasseur sauce separately.

Yet another one and my favorite,  is to sear the chicken on both sides, move it to a sheet pan and finish roasting in the oven. This guarantees a crispy skin! While the chicken is roasting you then prepare the hunters sauce.

Some other variations include dusting your chicken with flour. I decided not to do this as I really wanted a nice sear and crispy skin from the oven. Instead, I added some flour to the sauce at the end to thicken it up a bit.

Step 1: Heat up your oven to 375 F. In order to make Chicken Chasseur with a crispy skin, heat up clarified butter (or a combination of butter with cooking oil) in a cast iron skillet.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper and once your pan is hot, add chicken (skin side down) and cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes, until the skin is nicely browned. Turned the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Transfer the chicken onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature shows 165F.

Step 2. Start working on your Chasseur sauce.  Once you’ve moved your chicken to the oven, discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Add sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add chopped shallots and let them sweat for another few minutes. 

Step 3: If using, add cognac and either flambe it or let it almost entirely cook off. Add wine and deglaze the pan.

Step 5: If your sauce is too liquidy, combine 1-2 tablespoons of either Wondra flour or all-purpose flour with a 1/2 cup of water, mix well (until smooth) and add to the sauce to thicken it up.

Step 6: Adjust seasoning, add salt and pepper as needed. Once the sauce has the right consistency, turn it off and add 2 tablespoons of cold butter and let it melt into the sauce (

Step 7: Chop tarragon and parsley. Remove the chicken from the oven. Then for serving, you can either put the chicken back into the pan and sprinkle everything with herbs and serve it family style, or you plate the chicken and drench in your sauce, then sprinkle with herbs. See below for suggestions on what to serve the hunter’s chicken with.

If you make a big batch of this Chicken Chasseur and you’d like to store it, there is no problem there. This chicken can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days OR you could freeze for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat it, then remove from the freezer the night before and let it thaw in a fridge overnight.
