The subtle, earthy flavours of leeks and shiitake mushrooms naturally complement chicken. Serve this easy entertaining dish with mashed potatoes or rice. If you're not cooking with wine, replace it with chicken stock, adding 2 tsp (10 mL) white wine vinegar.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 lb chicken pieces, skinned
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 leeks, (white and light green parts only) chopped
- 2 cups slliced shiitake mushroom caps or button mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
Preparation
In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, 10 minutes. Transfer to plate; pour off fat in pan.
Add butter to pan; reduce heat to medium. Add leeks, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are softened, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in stock and wine; boil for 2 minutes.
Return chicken to pan; reduce heat, cover and simmer, occasionally spooning sauce over chicken, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 20 to 25 minutes.
