Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Season and brown the chicken by thoroughly seasoning with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then brown the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side.
Sauté sliced mushrooms, minced shallots, diced celery, and minced garlic in the Dutch oven for 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with salt, pepper, chopped sage, and parsley.
Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stir for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Pour in dry white wine, scraping browned bits from the bottom.
Gradually add chicken stock while stirring to prevent lumps. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
Add baby potatoes, cover them with sauce. Place the browned chicken on top and roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes.
Stir in cream after roasting, let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Using bone-in, skin-on chicken ensures moisture. Don't skimp on seasoning for flavor enhancement. Resting allows juices to redistribute for tenderness.
