Vinegar Braised Chicken And Mushrooms Recipes

VINEGAR BRAISED CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Season both sides of chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and, in batches, brown chicken on all sides, then transfer to a separate plate and set aside. Reserving 2-3 tablespoons, drain off fat and sauté carrots and onions until tender. About 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until softened, then add crushed garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Season everything with salt and pepper, then transfer vegetables (discarding garlic) to the plate with the chicken. Sprinkle flour into the Dutch oven and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking continuously, until pasty and smooth. Pour in the vinegars and whisk until smooth. Cook mixture for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened and reduced, then slowly mix in chicken broth. Return chicken to pot and add bay leaf, then bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, partially cover your pot and let simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Return vegetables to Dutch oven and serve with reduced sauce.

VINEGAR CHICKEN WITH CRISP ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add chicken skin-side down and cook until skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pot, 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken to brown on the other side, another 4 to 8 minutes, depending on what cut you're using. As the chicken browns, transfer it to a large plate.
• Add onions to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook, without moving them so they have a chance to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar and 1 cup water, then use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and return chicken to the pot, skin-side up, nestling all the pieces in there. (They don't need to be totally submerged.) Scatter thyme around and place the lid on top. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook at a gentle simmer until chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, if serving the mushrooms, heat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss mushrooms with olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing once or twice, until the mushrooms are deeply browned and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside, 15 to 20 minutes depending on the type of mushroom and strength of your oven.
• If serving the salad, toss Little Gems with lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and arrange on a large platter. Sprinkle with sumac and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
• Remove chicken from heat and season the cooking liquid with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer chicken, onions and thyme to a large serving platter, spooning cooking liquid over the top, or alternatively, serve directly from the pot, with the mushrooms and salad alongside you like. Add toast and something creamy if you choose.
