Roast Chicken w/Sauce Chasseur paired with Slo Down Chard

Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 4 (8-ounce) skin-on  chicken breasts or boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large shallots, halved lengthwise, root ends trimmed
  • 8 thyme sprigs
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as a lightly oaked Chardonnay) - I used the Broken Dreams Chardonnay
  • 2 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, cleaned and cut into bite-size pieces (about 3 cups)     
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large plum tomato, chopped OR cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

 
How to Make It:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a 12-inch stainless steel ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear chicken in skillet, skin side down, until skin is crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip chicken; add shallots, cut sides down, and press into skillet. Cook chicken and shallots until shallots are browned, about 4 minutes. Add thyme and wine to skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high; add broth, and return to a simmer. Carefully transfer skillet (so skin of chicken stays dry) to preheated oven, and roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 155°F, about 20 minutes.
  2. Remove skillet from oven. Using tongs, place chicken breasts and shallots on a plate; tent with aluminum foil to keep warm while making sauce. Pour broth mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup, and set aside. Wipe skillet clean, and return to high heat.
  3. Melt butter in skillet, and add mushrooms in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Shake skillet to loosen mushrooms; cook, without stirring, until mushrooms just begin to release their juices, about 2 minutes. Add strained broth mixture and cream to skillet, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in tomato, chives, and tarragon; season with salt to taste.
  4. Slice chicken breasts crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces. Divide chicken among plates, and serve with sauce chasseur.
