A flavoursome Chicken with Rosemary & Mustard recipe from the Dairy Diary 2019.
Ingredients
Olive oil 2 tsp
Butter 15g (½oz)
Chicken legs 4, trimmed of excess fat and skin
Dry vermouth 150ml (¼ pint)
Hot chicken stock 300ml (½ pint)
Rosemary 3 sprigs
Double cream 6 tbsp
Dijon mustard 2 rounded tsp
New potatoes and fine green beans to serve (optional)
Directions
Heat oil and butter in a large shallow pan and brown chicken all over for about 5 minutes. Take chicken out and spoon off excess fat.
Heat pan juices, add vermouth and boil until reduced to 4 tablespoons. Pour in stock, add rosemary and chicken. Bring just to the boil, turn heat down, cover and simmer gently for 40 minutes.
Remove chicken and rosemary. Bring liquid back to the boil and reduce it by half, add 4 tablespoons cream, then reduce again until sauce just coats back of a spoon. Stir in seasoning, mustard and remaining cream. Put chicken back in to heat through, spooning sauce over. Serve with new potatoes and green beans, if you like.
