First up – his classic Chicken Chasseur! Hope you enjoy – Nagi x
————————
Chef JB’s Chicken Chasseur
4 EACH chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on (~250g/8oz each) & drumsticks
3/4 tsp cooking/kosher salt + 1/2 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp flour (plain/all-purpose)
2 tbsp oil (veg, canola, other plain)
30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter
SAUCE CHASSEUR:
400g/14oz white mushrooms, sliced 6mm/0.2”
2 onions, brown or yellow, halved, sliced 6mm/0.2”
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup brandy, doesn’t need to be exxy stuff (this is what makes it Chasseur!)
1/2 cup chardonnay or other dry wine, or sub more stock
2 1/2 cups beef stock, low-sodium
3/4 tsp cooking/kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
30g/2 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed (KEEP REFRIGERATED until required)
1 tbsp fresh tarragon, finely chopped (the classic herb, makes it real Chasseur!)
FOR SERVING
Creamy mashed potato (or rice or small pasta)
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then flour, shake off excess well. Heat oil in large 30cm/12” skillet (with a lid) over high, then melt the butter. Once foaming, sear the skin side of the thighs until golden, then cook the other side for just 1 min. Remove, then make drumsticks golden (I do 3 sides).
2. Add mushrooms and onion, cook until onion softened, adding garlic towards the end. Add tomato paste, cook 1 min. Add brandy, either flambe (it will put itself out in 10 sec) or just let it bubble 20-30 sec to cook out the alcohol.
3. Add wine, reduce by half. Add stock, salt and pepper, return chicken into sauce. Bring to simmer, cover, simmer 10 min (average simmer, not low not rapid). Uncover and simmer 20 min. Remove chicken, simmer 3 min. Turn off heat, scatter in half the cold butter, stir to melt, scatter in remaining butter, stir to melt (sauce will thicken and become glossy).
4. Bring back to gentle simmer, put chicken back in, sprinkle with tarragon. Take to table, serve over rice!

hi!
Where are the cute Nagi hands? 🥹
Yummy Yummy definitely gonna try this
Wow… my stomach growls! 😮
Ooh..tarragon, garlic, mushrooms,. and wine AND brandy? Be still my heart!! I have a raincheck AND coupon for decently priced relatively well raised chicken… making this next week!!!!!😊
Can't possibly be a real chef. Didn't throw a pot across the kitchen and could hardly be heard swearing.
Every chef I've worked under has been a swearing thrower of objects.
That does look bloody good, though. Timed it perfect for this heatwave. 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome, Jean-Baptiste, With this for a starter I'm looking forward to your recipes.
Saved to MyRecipeTin.
Looks delicious!!!
Oh, yes.
Spicy , tasty and perfect chicken❤
Everything you cook Nagi is beautiful, your recipes never disappointment
All I can say is, WOW! Thank you for sharing this with us! 💜🍽️
Happen to have some fresh tarragon and was wondering what to do with it, that's dinner sorted, thanks Nagi & Dozer 😊
Dear Reader,
The true Gospel: ✝️
Jesus Christ died ✝️ for our sins, was buried and rose to life again on the third day and the very moment you believe that you are instantly saved, sealed by the Holy Spirit, a member of the Body of Christ and fully justified and sanctified in Christ Jesus.
It's that simple folks, that's what the Bible says. However, religion and institutional churches will hardly ever tell you the simplicity that is in Christ.
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:30-31 KJV.
Please obtain a King James Bible and read it, avoid all modern per'versions' as they are based on corrupted Alexandrian manuscripts which add or take away from Scripture & reading them will just have you confused & doubting your salvation (as is their purpose!). Don't know where to begin? The Gospel of John is a good place to start, then Paul's epistles to gain a good foundation of identification truths of who you are in Christ.
God bless you ✝️
Yummy! 😋 Welcome JB!❤
Delicious
Welcome, JB, we’re glad to have you! This looks incredible 😀
Yummy! Why you put beef broth instead chicken broth? Thank's. 😀
Looks amazing, JB! Thanks for sharing
🙏👍😋❤️
Will be trying to make this next week. I've only made chicken chasseur once before, and it was from Marco Pierre White's Knorr stockpot video recipe – which I actually found very basic and boring. Hoping a lot more from this and from my experience with RecipeTin Eats recipe's in the past (and having bought both cookbooks!), I'm confident this one will turn out much, much better! 🙂
This looks amazing. Thank you JB!
Beautifully presented Chef. Merci beaucoup!
Oh my I haven’t made this for years. Delish.
Wow!! Yummy recipe & really well explained. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Great work Chef JB. Merci beaucoup. 👋🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very delicious recipe super yummiest
interesting. reminds me of hunters chicken. Just without the kick of spice and added tarragon. Might sub apple cider vinegar for the brandy tho.
Well done JB! Fabulous debut! 🎉🎉🎉 You’re a natural!
