Chicken Chasseur Instant Pot Recipes

CHICKEN CHASSEUR RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pan heat 1 tbsp of oil and brown chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper on both sides until golden. You may have to do it in batches to avoid overcrowding. Remove to a plate and set aside until needed.
• To the same pan add butter, sliced onions, mushrooms and garlic and saute with a pinch of salt on low heat for 10 minutes. Then add the white wine and let it bubble away for a couple of minutes.
• Then add the thyme leaves, bay leaves and tomato paste. Bring the chicken breasts back to the pan together with diced tomatoes and chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer covered for 20 minutes, then uncover and cook for 10 minutes longer. If by the end of the cooking time the sauce is too watery let it simmer uncovered to reduce.

CHICKEN CHASSEUR (INSTANT POT RECIPE)

Steps:

• Prepare all your ingredients and get your equipment ready.
• Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper (1/4 teaspoon of both salt and pepper on each breast). Pour the extra virgin olive oil into the Instant Pot and brown your chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Once brown, put the chicken on a plate and leave to one side.
• Pour the wine into the Instant Pot and deglaze the pan, scraping all the brown bits from the bottom. Next, add the tomato puree, and give it a good stir until it dissolves into the wine. Now, add the garlic, anchovies, fresh tomatoes, paprika, parsley, sage, thyme, bay leaves, celery salt, onion granules, maple syrup and lemon juice. Stir everything together and then turn off the sauté function.
• Put the chicken, with all its juices back into the Instant Pot together with the mushrooms, carrots and shallots. Next, pour over the chicken stock and give everything one final stir, ensuring the chicken is beneath the liquid.
• Secure the lid to the Instant Pot and select the Pressure Cook button. You want high pressure for 1hr 40 minutes. Do not use the Meat Stew function as it does not cook the Chicken Chasseur long enough for the depth of flavour we want!The Instant Pot should take 10 minutes to generate steam and start cooking.
• Once cooked, do a quick release, and when safe to do so, remove the lid. Immediately, turn on the sauté function. The sauce will begin to reduce down and develop even more flavour. To encourage thickening, take a small bowl and add two tablespoons of arrowroot flour and combined this with four tablespoons of liquid from your stew. Mix until you have a smooth paste. Pour the arrowroot paste back into the Instant Pot and stir. After 10 minutes, your Chicken Chasseur will be ready to eat.
• Serve and enjoy!!

CHICKEN CHASSEUR (HUNTER-STYLE CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of clarified butter in a Dutch oven over high heat. Place chicken in skin side down and cook until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side. Remove chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the oven until just cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and saute until golden brown. Add the shallots and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Cognac and cook until completely reduced. Add the wine and cook until completely reduced. Add the stock and tomato and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon ("nappe") and then swirl in the butter ("monter au beurre"). Once the butter is added, the sauce can not be further reduced because it will break. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the tarragon and chervil.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the breastbone from the breast. Cut each breast into 2 even pieces on the bias. Cut the legs into 2 pieces at the joint and on the bias and remove the thighbones. Serve 1 leg piece and 1 breast piece. Make sure only 1 piece contains a bone. Serve on hot plates, napped with the sauce.

• Slip the chicken legs back into the pan, then cover and simmer on a low heat for about 1 hr until the chicken is very tender.

INSTANT POT® CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in the pot of an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) on "Saute" mode; add chicken. Cook until browned, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving drippings in the pot.
• Place celery, onion, and mushrooms in the pot; cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Place chicken back in the pot; add tomatoes and tomato paste. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence. Top with water and bouillon.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Cook for 11 minutes.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid carefully, turning it away from you. Test chicken for doneness; an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season the chicken to taste with red pepper flakes and black pepper.

CHICKEN CHASSEUR OR HUNTER'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat up your oven to 375 F. In order to make Chicken Chasseur with a crispy skin, heat up clarified butter (or a combination of butter with cooking oil) in a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and once your pan is hot, add chicken (skin side down) and cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes, until the skin is nicely browned.
• Turned the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Transfer the chicken onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature shows 165F.
• Once you've moved your chicken to the oven, discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet. Add sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes. Then add chopped shallots and let them sweat for another few minutes.
• If using, add cognac and either flambe it or let it almost entirely cook-off. Add wine and deglaze the pan. Cook until about 1 tablespoon of liquid is left.
• Add tomatoes or tomato paste, chicken stock, and let cook for about 10-15 minutes.
• If your sauce is too liquidy, combine 1-2 tablespoons of either Wondra flour or all-purpose flour with a 1/2 cup of water, mix well (until smooth) and add to the sauce to thicken it up. Cook for another 2 minutes.
• Adjust seasoning, add salt and pepper as needed. Once the sauce has the right consistency, turn it off and add 2 tablespoons of cold butter and let it melt into the sauce (Tip: once you've added butter, then you cannot reduce the sauce more as the butter would break);
• Chop tarragon and parsley. Remove the chicken from the oven. Then for serving, you can either put the chicken back into the pan and sprinkle everything with herbs and serve it family style, or you plate the chicken and drench in your sauce, then sprinkle with herbs. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Enjoy!
