Chicken Forestière | Rustic French Recipe.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

white wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic wine retains flavor without alcohol

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and brown in a skillet with butter and olive oil until golden, then transfer to the oven for 20 minutes.

While the chicken bakes, cook the shallot and garlic, then add mushrooms and sauté until softened.

Pour in the brandy, reduce by half, then add the stock, tarragon, and thyme, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in the crème fraiche for a creamy, flavourful finish.

Remove the chicken from the oven and nestle in the sauce. Add the roasting pan juices into the sauce.

Garnish with parsley, and enjoy with rustic bread or a simple mashed potato and steamed green beans.
