  SLOW COOKED CHICKEN CASSEROLE
  
  September is here and fall is in the air in New England. Morning are cool and leaves are turning burnished shades of autumn. Time to pull out the warm sweaters for a brisk walk in the woods. Summer meals are replaced with hearty casseroles flagrantly scented with fresh herbs still flourishing in the garden. I made this chicken casserole in a low over and you could use a slow cooker too. Either method produces tender chicken that just pulls away from the bone melting in your mouth!
  
  6 pounds mixed chicken pieces, breasts, legs and thighs.
  
  2 tablespoon olive oil
  
  1 large onion chopped
  
  4 cloves garlic minced
  
  8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  
  1 tablespoon minced rosemary
  
  1 tablespoon minced thyme
  
  1 teaspoon kosher salt
  
  1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  
  1 cup dry white wine
  
  2 tablespoon flour
  
  Pre heat over to 275 F. Heat oil in pan to high. Add chicken pieces searing to brown on each side. One browned remove chicken placing in dutch over. I love Le Creuset from France. Expensive yet so worth the price as they cook food beautifully and last forever. Cook onion in pan until translucent. Add garlic; cook for a few minutes then add mushrooms stirring until juices evaporate. Add rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper combine for a minute before adding wine. Bring to boil then simmer adding flour mixing to thicken the sauce. Poor over chicken in dutch over and slow cook for two and a half hours.
  
  You can make this ahead the day before and warm up to eat.
  
  Serve with rice or butter noodles.
  
  Enjoy!

  Chicken, Mushroom and Wine Casserole
  
  I love make ahead meals that can be easily heated to have a home cooked meal quickly. Many a Sunday you will find me in the kitchen cooking meals for the coming week. And what could be tastier than a chicken, mushroom and white wine casserole fragrantly flavored with fresh thyme. The chicken tender separating from the bone without even using a nice. Serve over Arborio rice enjoying as you dip crusty fresh bread into the wine sauce.
  
  3 pounds split chicken breast
  
  salt and pepper
  
  2 tablespoons olive oil
  
  8 ounce slice mushrooms
  
  1 leek, thinly slice, white part only
  
  1 shallot, chopped
  
  2 cloves, chopped
  
  1 cup wine
  
  2 cup chicken broth
  
  2 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped
  
  1 dry bay leaf, crushed
  
  2 springs fresh thyme, finely chopped
  
  Heat oven to 350F. Salt and pepper chicken. In a casserole pan, I use a Le Creuset casserole, heat olive oil. Add chicken breasts cooking on each side until lightly browned. Remove from pan and place on a dish. To casserole pan add mushrooms, leeks, shallot and garlic. Cook for 5minutes while stirring or until all the juices are gone. Add wine, chicken broth, parsley, bay leaf and thyme. Remove casserole from stove and place in over baking for 30 minutes. Garnish with more thyme.
  
  Serve over Arborio rice.

- Chicken with Wine and Mushroom
  
  Posted at 7:13 pm by Good Dinner Mrs Mellen
  
  Dec 26th
  Growing up I was fortunate to have a wonderful cook for a mother. My mother is one of those intuitive cooks who effortlessly just knows how to marry spices for the most flavorful food. I learned how to cook watching my mother in her kitchen making her magic from cooking to baking. A solitary cook my favorite time to cook is when I am alone in my kitchen channelling my mother remembering my special time spent with her so long ago.
  
  One my favorite chicken recipes from my mother is chicken paired wine and mushrooms. Chicken is very versatile capturing flavor from the ingredient you add. I especially like rosemary added to chicken releasing a flavorful aroma to the sauce. After cooking in the over for an hour and half the flavors are perfectly combine with the chicken so tender breaking away from the bone.
  
  Chicken with Wine and Mushroom
  
  4 lbs. cut up chicken, 8 pieces
  
  2 tablespoon olive oil
  
  8 oz slice mushrooms
  
  1 shallot, chopped
  
  4 cloves garlic, minced
  
  8 oz. slice mushroom. I like to use baby portobello
  
  1/4 cup flour
  
  2 cups white wine
  
  2 cups chicken broth, low salt
  
  2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  
  1 teaspoon salt
  
  1/2 teaspoon pepper
  
  Preheat oven to 350F. Heat oil in pan. Brown chicken in large sautéing pan or frying pan about 10 minutes on each side. Remove as pieces brown placing on a paper towel cover plate. Drain oil from pan leaving just one tablespoon. Add shallot and garlic sautéing until translucent do not brown. Add mushrooms cooking for another 5 minutes. Place chicken in dutch over, top with shallot, garlic and mushrooms. Sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Set aside why making sauce. In sautéing pan add flour to drippings cooking to combine for a few minutes. Add wine and chicken broth bringing to a boil. Lower heat simmer until thick. Remove from heat pour over sauce over Chicken. Bake for 1hour and 30 minutes. I like to serve over 1 lb. fettuccine tossed with olive oil or you can try egg noddles, rice, couscous. Saves 4-6.
  
  Enjoy!

- Tuscan White Bean Soup with Murshooms and Fennel
  
  Posted at 4:48 am by Good Dinner Mrs Mellen
  
  Jan 6th
  Growing up of Italian heritage I have wonderful memories of my mother making all kinds of soup with beans, white beans, black beans, lentils, all different varieties. My mother taught me to layer my soups, you could say marry the different ingredients that just compliment each other for a deliciously flavorful satisfying soup. When I wanted to make a vegetarian white bean soup I added fennel and mushrooms to compliment the beans, shallots and garlic for flavor, plus giving more substance to the soup making it a nice light meal. This soup is perfect for a cold winter day, filling and warming!
  
  Tuscan White Bean Soup with Mushroom and Fennel
  2 tablespoon olive oil
  2 shallots, chopped
  4 cloves garlic, chopped
  1/2 bulb fennel, chopped
  8 oz white button mushrooms, chopped
  1 sage leaf
  3 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  1/2 cup dry white wine
  1 vegetable bullion cube
  1 cup water
  1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  6 slices french baguette
  Extra olive oil, for drizzling
  
  Place a medium, heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic and shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add fennel and mushrooms cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add the sage and beans: stir to combine. Add the stock, wine, vegetable bullion cube and water bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 20 minutes. Keep warm, covered, over very low heat.
  Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the slices of ciabatta bread with extra-virgin olive oil. Grill the bread until warm and golden grill marks appear, about 3 minutes a side. Serve the soup in bowls with the grilled bread alongside.
  
  Enjoy!
