Cider Chicken Stew With Fall Vegetables

  1. Trim fat off chicken.
  2. Season flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  3. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess back into the bowl; reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons flour.
  4. In a Dutch oven or large, flameproof casserole dish, melt the butter with the oil over med-high heat; saute the chicken until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove to a plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan.
  6. Add the shallots and saute until soft and fragrant (1 minute).

  14. Drain and rinse well under cold water.
  15. When the chicken is done, remove it to a serving dish, and cover it to keep it warm.
