Here’s my adaptation of the beloved French dish. I substituted boneless skinless chicken breasts for a lighter version that still showcases the traditional and memorable taste. —Sonya Labbe, Los Angeles, California
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
3 bacon strips, chopped
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
hot cooked noodles, optional
Directions:
1. Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving drippings.
2. In the same skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic in bacon drippings just until tender. Spoon over chicken. Add bay leaf. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, wine, broth, thyme and pepper until smooth; pour over chicken.
3. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until meat is tender. Discard bay leaf. Serve with noodles if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
