Chicken and Mushrooms in Red Wine
Ingredients
  • 4
    small chicken legs (drumstick-thigh piece) (about 2 pounds total)
  • 2
    tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4
    teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4
    teaspoon pepper
  • 2
    tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1/2
    cup dry red wine
  • 1/2
    cup chicken broth
  • 16
    pearl onions (1-1/3 cups)
  • 2
    cups fresh medium mushrooms, quartered
  • 2
    tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons snipped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 1
    bay leaf
  • 2
    tablespoons chicken broth
  • 1
    tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 6
    slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled
  • Snipped parsley (optional)
  • Hot cooked noodles
Directions

1. Skin chicken. In a plastic or paper bag combine 2 tablespoons flour, the garlic salt, and pepper. Add chicken, one or two pieces at a time, to the bag, shaking to coat chicken well.

2. In a 4-1/2-quart Dutch oven cook chicken in hot oil about 10 minutes or until lightly browned, turning to brown evenly. Drain. Add wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, the onions, mushrooms, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to boilling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Discard bay leaf. Transfer chicken to a platter; keep warm.

3. Stir together 2 tablespoons broth and 1 tablespoon flour. Add to mushroom mixture in Dutch oven. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Stir in bacon. Spoon some of the mushroom sauce over chicken; sprinkle with parsley, if desired. Pass remaining sauce. Serve with hot noodles. Makes 4 servings.

This is yummy and a little different. My husband and I both enjoyed it. I didn't have any pearl onions on hand when I made this, but a chopped onion made a fine, if less fancy, substitution.
