This dish is sumptuous but a snap to make. Once you've browned the chicken, simply pop it into the oven and baste it occasionally. Serve it over buttered noodles to soak up all the luscious juices.
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
2. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy ovenproof casserole over medium heat. Brown the chicken in batches, about 8 minutes per batch, being careful not to pierce the skin. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the carrots, onion, garlic, and tarragon; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Return the chicken and any juices to the casserole, arranging the pieces atop the vegetables. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
