Directions
Hunters Chicken Chasseur, Chasseur is French for hunter This is an updated version of an old classic If fresh tarragon is unavailable, double the amount of fresh parsley-don’t use dried tarragon Serve with egg noodles or mashed potatoes! Adapted from Cook’s Illustrated magazine , A relatively easy recipe to prepare with wonderful results! I had fairly large-ish chicken breasts, which took about 35 minutes to roast I followed the recipe as posted, using cognac, sliced mushrooms, and canned fire-roasted tomatoes Instead of serving the sauce over the chicken, though, I skinned it and sliced it and poured the sauce over (suddenly, no one in this house likes chicken on the bone) It worked out perfectly, while staying faithful to the recipe This made a lovely Sunday dinner!
