Welcome to super easy recipes, today I'll be making chicken chasseur or hunter's chicken.

For the ingredients, you'll need chicken thighs, chicken legs, chestnut mushrooms, about 400 milliliters of dry white wine, a stock cube, 2 tablespoons of tomato puree, 1 large onion or 2 small onions, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Remove the skin from the chicken thighs but not the legs.

Roughly chop the onions into small squares.

Depending on the size of your mushrooms, quarter, halve, or leave them whole.

Heat 1 or 2 tablespoons of olive oil in your casserole pan.

Fry the chicken pieces for about 2 minutes on each side to get some color.

Set your chicken aside.

On medium heat, fry your onions and garlic until they are soft and translucent, adding more oil if needed.

When the onions are translucent, add your mushrooms and fry for 1 or 2 minutes longer.

Add the tomato puree, thyme, and sugar, and stir in well.

After a few minutes, the bottom of the pan should get sticky; add a drop of white wine and scrape the bottom of the pan.

When the bottom of the pan is clean, add in the rest of the white wine and let it bubble for a few minutes.

Add in the stock and let the liquid bubble for a few minutes.

Add in the chicken and simmer on low heat until the chicken is very tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

The chicken is ready when the meat is almost falling off the bone.

To get a nice thick concentrated sauce, remove the chicken from the pan.

Turn up the heat and rapidly boil the sauce to the desired consistency, checking after 10 minutes.

Season to taste after boiling the sauce.

When you're happy with the thickness of the sauce, slip the chicken back in to rewarm it.

Serve with plain boiled rice, boiled potatoes, or mash.
