Chicken Provençal
Serves 4.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken, 3 to 4 lb., cut into 8 pieces
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 lb. cremini mushrooms, quartered
- 2 cups white wine
- 1 1⁄2 Tbs. chicken demi-glace
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1⁄2 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
Preheat an oven to 400°F.Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a large bowl, add the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Working in batches, brown the chicken on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Add the onion and mushrooms to the pan and cook until the onion is golden and the mushrooms start to brown, about 4 minutes. Off the heat, add the wine and demi-glace. Set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Return the chicken to the pan, add the thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, add the potatoes and stir to combine. Continue baking until the chicken is falling off the bone, about 35 minutes more. Remove the pan from the oven, add the tomatoes, stir gently and let stand for 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

In my recipe book for years. A favorite!
I came here to send this recipe to my sister, as we made it last night and I just love the way the potatoes end up coated with the sauce. The chicken is also yummy, though we differ from the recipe and just use chicken breasts (with skin). Mushrooms, onions, and potatoes with chicken in a delicious sauce/glaze. You can order the Demi glaze online from Williams and Sonoma. Expensive, but it lasts and just a little bit adds so much flavor to a dish.

One of My All-Time Favorites
I found this recipe many years ago and I hadn't made it in quite a while. I decided that it was time I make it again. The aroma in our kitchen is so nice.
This is a simple meal that always turns out well and it doesn't cost a fortune for the ingredients. We really enjoy it.

Easy chicken recipe
This was easy to prepare. I omitted the glaze as there is no Williams-Sonoma in my town. The chicken breast pieces turned out dry.
