Chicken Braised In Virginia Spiced Wine With Shallots & Crimini Mushrooms Over Noodles
- 1 Whole Chicken, Quartered
- 1/4 pound Butter
- 2 Shallot, minced enough for about 1/3 a cup
- 1 cup Jamestown Cellars' Settler's Spiced Wine Or Mulled wine
- 1 Red Bell Pepper sliced in thumb size pieces
- 3/4 pound Crimini mushrooms, sliced 1/2" (fairly thick)
- 1/4 cup Sopressata, cut into small cubes (chorizo is good for its added hot kick)
- 1/3 cup Heavy cream, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons flour (for roux)
- 1 Bag-Extra Wide egg noodles
- Sea salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken, legs first. Season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until slightly well browned, about 4 minutes. Add 1/2 the shallots and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Get a good burn going. Add 1/4 spiced wine. Separate the chicken from the bottom of the pan. Cook down and brown the other side and braise with another 1/4 of spiced wine.
- Add 2 tbs of butter, mushrooms, sausage and the rest of the shallots. Season with salt and pepper and cook over low heat until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the last of the wine. Cover and place into the oven for 25 minutes (or until the chicken breasts are fully cooked.) Transfer the chicken to a large plate and cover with foil.
- Prepare the egg noodles al dente and set aside.
- Using same skillet, increase the heat to medium. Stir the room temperature cream into the chicken skillet and bring to a simmer. Making a rue, blend the flour and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter together and gradually whisk into the cooking liquid and simmer, whisking 3 minutes. Return the chicken to its skillet to briefly reheat. Serve atop egg noodles toss red bell pepper pieces on top. Thank me later ?
