A traditional French dish called Keto Chicken Chasseur (Hunter’s Chicken) calls for grilled chicken and mushrooms in a hearty, tomato-based sauce. The French word “chasseur” means “hunter.” This meal is said to have acquired its unusual moniker when it was offered to hunters who were successful in finding fresh mushrooms in the forested areas where they were bird hunting. It became a traditional French meal that is still enjoyed today. It would be referred to as “Chicken Cacciatore” in Italian. Whatever the name, it is hearty and tasty!

In most recipes nowadays, boneless, skinless chicken is specified. However, this recipe is unique. To begin, Joanie uses skin-on, bone-in chicken. Make sure your chicken is fresh, and utilise the thighs and legs for flavour.

To reduce the amount of carbs, Joanie uses lupin flour. The chicken is seared in a blend of clarified butter and avocado oil. High heat is necessary for searing, but you don’t want the butter to burn.

Typical pantry staples like spices are included in the sauce’s ingredients. For this recipe, Joanie also combines organic beef stock with organic chicken stock. Since beef stock complements tomato paste’s flavour so well, it is utilised in the recipe. Additionally, it makes the food heartier. Use only chicken stock if you want a more adapted flavour.

She discovers that will produce extremely crispy chicken skin and keep the fluids inside the chicken pieces. That genuinely enhances the flavour.

Sauce for chicken Chasseur

To medium-low, reduce heat while the chicken bakes. Add more avocado oil. Salt and pepper are then added, and for THREE minutes, the mushrooms are cooked . Half the mushrooms should be saved for a platter. Stir in the shallots and garlic, then simmer for an additional minute.
Set the thermostat to medium-high. White wine and cognac should be added to the pan to deglaze it. Cook the tarragon and thyme for 3 minutes after adding them. Alcohol will disappear.
Along with the chicken stock and beef, add tomato paste to pan . For ten minutes, let the sauce decrease. Apply the sauce on a spoon, then trace your finger down the back. It ought to leave behind a trail that is sauce-free (nappé consistency). To thicken the sauce more quickly, you can whisk in a half-teaspoon of Xanthan Gum or Arrowroot Powder. From the heat, remove completed sauce , then until it has melted, stir in the butter .
