Ingredients
Serves 4
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 chicken drumsticks, about 4 oz. each
- 4 chicken thighs, about 5 oz. each
- 1/4 tsp. salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper, divided
- 1 onion, sliced
- 6 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
Directions
1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/8 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. black pepper. Cook the chicken, turning once, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
2
Add the bell pepper and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
3
Melt the butter in a separate skillet. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the milk. Add the reserved bell pepper mixture and the remaining salt and black pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened, 2–3 minutes. Add the reserved chicken and simmer for 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve hot.
