Directions

  1. Clean the chicken and remove the internal organs. ≈ 8 min
  2. Pour the water into a large stockpot, add the cleaned vegetables, offal, and herbs. ≈ 3 min
  3. Bring to a boil, then add the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook over low heat for 35 to 40 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken, peel off the skin, and de-bone it. ≈ 8 min
  6. Place the meat in a saucepan and add a little broth to keep it tender.
  7. Cook the skin and bones in the remaining broth: this will make the broth more concentrated.
  8. Prepare the sauce: melt the butter in a frying pan and sauté the finely chopped shallots until lightly browned.
  9. Add the cleaned and chopped mushrooms, then sauté them over high heat.
  10. Season with salt and pepper, then pour in the red wine and broth, and cook for 30 minutes, uncovered.
  11. Add the pieces of chicken to the sauce. If the sauce is too thin, add some broth or cream.
  12. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with rice or pasta. ≈ 10 min
