Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and finely chop the garlic. Clean the wild mushrooms and cut them into strips if they are large.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add the Root Vegetables

    Stir in the carrots and potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

  3. 4

    Brown the Chicken

    Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and place the chicken thighs in the center. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  4. 5

    Incorporate the Mushrooms

    Once the chicken is browned, add the wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture.

  5. 6

    Deglaze with Red Wine

    Pour the red wine over the chicken and vegetables, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 7

    Add Berries and Thyme

    Stir in the fresh red berries and thyme, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Once done, carefully remove the chicken and vegetables from the skillet and serve hot. Garnish with additional fresh berries, if desired.
