1 1/2 teaspoons flour
6 tablespoons dry vermouth or dry white wine

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

🍲 How To Make Jamie Oliver Chicken Chasseur

Heat the Oil: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Season the Chicken: Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned, turning occasionally, for about 8 minutes.
Remove the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan. Discard the rest of the fat.
Cook the Onion: Add the butter to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the chopped onion and cook until it looks clear, about 5 minutes.
Add Mushrooms and Garlic: Turn the heat up a bit. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook until the mushrooms look browned, about 5 minutes.
Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for about 30 seconds.
Add Vermouth: Pour in the vermouth and let it simmer for a minute.
Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, thyme, and the remaining salt.
Simmer: Put the chicken and its juices back in the pan. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Finish with Parsley: Stir in the chopped parsley and the remaining pepper.

💭 Recipe Tips

Use Bone-In Chicken: Bone-in chicken breasts retain moisture better, making the dish juicier and more flavorful.
Proper Browning: Brown the chicken well to add depth to the flavor of the sauce.
Simmer Gently: Keep the heat low while simmering to ensure the chicken cooks through without becoming tough.
Fresh Herbs: Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh finish to the dish, so don’t skip it.
