My chicken casserole recipe

[Geezah]

Ingredients
6 chicken thighs skinned and filletted
1 rasher of smoked bacon cut in to lardons
8 shallotts halfed
1 leek sliced
2 carrots thinly sliced
12 button mushrooms halfed
6 baby tomatoes halfed
flour
salt & Pepper
garlic granules
parlsey
chicken stock (oxo)
red wine

Method
Season some flour with salt n pepper then roll the skinned and filleted thighs in it then fry them in a little oil until they are golden all over and then put them in a casserole dish.
Slice up a rasher of bacon in to lardons and fry that until it is golden and add it to the chicken.
Fry the shallots for a minute, then add the rest of the vegetables and fry/toss them for a minute or 2 and add it the casserole dish.
Choped half a dozen baby toms in 1/2 and add them.
Add about 400ml of chicken stock (chicken oxo)
Add a good sprinkle of garlic granules and a good sprinkle of parsley and top the dish up with red wine. (about 1/3 of a bottle)
In the oven on 180 for 90 minutes.
use cornflour to thicken the sauce at the end if required.

This was my first ever attempt at a chicken casserole / chasseure type of dish and it worked really well.

Sounds yummy, you can't beat chicken thighs for flavour and value.

next time try some dark ale instead of wine its amazing

[phil55494]

Chuck in some cooking chorizo instead of the bacon and add some paparika and chilli and you have yet a different stew again.

Made it again tonight but replaced the wine with ale and omitted the tom's, then thickened it with a bit of bisto.
Even better than last weeks

That recipe looks ideal for a pressure cooker. Just replace "In the oven on 180 for 90 minutes" by "pressure cook for 10 minutes".

I do a batch of stew every month - brown off the floured beef pieces first. Cheap cuts need 10+ minutes in stock, then release pressure, add and cook veg for 5 or so.
