Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Dice the onions, slice the mushrooms, and halve the fingerling potatoes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook Lardons

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the lardons and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sear Chicken

    In the same pot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add diced onions to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Wine and Broth

    Pour in the Burgundy wine and chicken broth, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the chicken and lardons to the pot. Add halved fingerling potatoes and fresh thyme. Cover and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
