Baby and Big Bella Mushroom and Chicken Stew

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 portobello mushroom caps, black gills scraped with a spoon, cut in half, and then thinly sliced
1 10-ounce container cremini (baby portobello) mushrooms, brushed clean and cut into quarters
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves cut into bite-size pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (3 rounded tablespoonfuls)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
4 medium red bliss potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
1 celery rib with greens, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (from 4 sprigs)
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 quart chicken stock or broth
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (a few generous handfuls), chopped
Crusty, farmhouse-style bread

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a large sauce pot over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan). Add the portobello and cremini mushrooms and cook, stirring every now and then, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until all of the mushrooms are lightly brown. Remove the mushrooms from the pot to a plate, return the sauce pot to the heat, and add 2 more tablespoons of EVOO.

    Step 2

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sprinkle it with the flour. Add the chicken to the pot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the onions, garlic, potatoes, carrots, celery, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the wine, cook for 1 minute, then add the chicken stock, bring it up to a simmer, and return the mushrooms to the sauce pot. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the peas and parsley and simmer for 1 minute more. Fish out the bay leaf and discard. Serve the stew with some crusty bread.
