4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 None chicken legs
  • 2 None chicken breasts
  • 1/3 lb shallots, peeled
  • 2 cloves garlic, cut in 1/2
  • 1/2 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 6 sprigs fresh parsley
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 None bay leaves
  • 2 cups red wine, such as Pinot Noir
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 2/3 cups chicken stock
  • 6 None celery stalks, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped, to garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the chicken, shallots, garlic, carrots, parsley, thyme and bay leaves in a large shallow bowl and cover with the wine. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 12 hours or overnight.
  2. 2
    Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Season. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot and sear the chicken over high heat until golden brown. Work in batches, if necessary. Set the chicken aside.
  3. 3
    Drain the vegetables from the marinade, add to the pan and saute for 2-3 mins then stir in the flour and tomato paste. Cook gently for 2 mins then deglaze with a little of the marinade, scraping any browned bits from the pan. Add the rest of the marinade and the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  4. 4
    Return the chicken to the pan, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45 mins, turning the chicken occasionally. Add the celery and simmer, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 mins until the celery is just tender and the liquid has thickened slightly. Serve garnished with chopped tarragon.
