So yummy!!!! This is something that I derived from about 4 different recipes and made it into one...its easy! I actually used a whole chicken but it would be easier to use SKIN ON and BONE IN chicken breasts. You want to put the herbs between the skin and the breast meat to really give the chicken some flavor. I had all of these herbs in my garden but use what you like. I had a lot of yellow squash that I needed to make so I made a squash casserole to serve along side and some yummy bread. Its a crowd pleaser...you could make this for a dinner party as well and it would be a hit.
Ingredients
1 whole fryer chicken OR 4 skin on, bone in chicken breasts
1 T chopped rosemary
1T chopped thyme
1T chopped basil
1T chopped parsley
2 t olive oil
1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
1 pint of mushrooms
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup cream
2 T dijon mustard
1/2 T chopped tarragon (optional)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse and pat dry chicken. Separate the skin from the meat by working your fingers under the skin until you've created a pocket to put herbs. In a small bowl mix herbs together with oil, salt, and pepper. Put herb mixture under the skin and spread around on the meat so its distributed evenly. Put some vegetable oil on top of chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper (the oil will help crisp up the skin). Place on baking sheet and in the oven for about 40 min or until done.
Remove chicken from oven and let rest for 10 minutes (so you let all of the juices redistribute throughout the meat). While the chicken is resting put 1 T butter in saucepan with mushrooms. Cook mushrooms about 8 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed and mushrooms are starting to brown. Add wine and mustard and stir for 1 min. Add cream and let thicken for about 3 minutes. Add tarragon right before removing from heat. Serve mushroom cream sauce over chicken. ENJOY!!!!
