Author Notes
This is a nice all in one pot(roasting pan) recipe. My inspiration for it was an Italian cooking class I attended with my sister, Mom and some friends. It was a fantastic class, fun and delicious, called Get Cooking Edmonton . I've adapted it to what we prefer or what I happen to have in my cupboards. In the class we used dried porcini mushrooms but I used mixed dried mushrooms, along with fresh Cremini Mushrooms. I swapped the chicken thighs for bone in, skin on chicken breasts, you can do the same or use a whole chicken cut up. I've made the dish a number of times using different combinations of chicken pieces, and it turns out great every time. —Katheryn's Kitchen
Ingredients
-
4
bone in, skin on chicken breasts, each cut in half, you will end up with 8 pieces
-
8-10
small waxy potatoes, cut in half-many different varieties of potatoes will work- Yukon Gold, white skinned potatoes, baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes
-
1/2 cup
dried mushrooms
-
1 cup
boiling hot water for steeping the dried mushrooms- keep mushroom juice after straining the mushrooms but be careful not to add the sediment from the mushrooms as it might be a little gritty.
-
2 cups
thick sliced cremini mushrooms
-
2
cloves of garlic thinly sliced
-
3
sprigs of rosemary, leaves removed and coarsely chopped
-
1 cup
white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, enough to just cover the bottom of the roasting pan
-
1 cup
chicken broth
-
olive oil
-
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400° F.
-
Soak dried mushrooms in the hot water for 30 minutes then drain, reserving the soaking water, and coarsely chop the mushrooms.
-
Toss the chopped soaked mushrooms, along with the freshly sliced cremini mushrooms and garlic in a few tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
-
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper and place skin side down in a roasting pan.
-
Add the potatoes around the pieces of chicken, cut side up and sprinkle with rosemary, then season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
-
Pour enough white wine into the roasting pan to just cover the bottom of the pan. Now add the rest of the reserved mushroom juice and chicken stock, along with the mushroom mixture and drizzle everything with olive oil.
