- 1 chicken, about 3 lbs (1.5 kg), cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
- 1 lb (454 g) white button mushrooms, halved
- 4 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) brandy
- 1 cup (250 ml) chicken broth

- 1/2 cup (125 ml) 35% cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) flour
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- In a large enameled cast iron pot or other oven-safe pan, brown the chicken on all sides in the oil and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Keep the chicken on a plate. Keep only 45 ml (3 tablespoons) of the drippings in the pan. Add the mushrooms and shallots. Fry until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the garlic and deglaze with the cognac. Flambé, if desired. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the broth and wine. Bring to a boil. Cover and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the meat pulls easily from the bone.
- In a bowl, combine the cream, egg yolk, and flour. Set aside.
- Remove the chicken from pan and keep warm. Bring the cooking juices to a boil and reduce by half. Reduce the heat, add the cream and egg mixture and cook for 2 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens. Add the parsley and season to taste.
- Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and serve with spaetzle.
