A lesser-known French dish, Chicken Chasseur is still a masterpiece of flavor! The juicy, golden-brown chicken and the beefy, hearty mushrooms are braised in a rich, savory tomato sauce until they are extra tender and positively infused with vibrant flavors! This is the kind of dish you can imagine being served next to roast potatoes or over egg noodles and just wowing you from the start. Chicken Chasseur might not be as well-known as other French classics, but it will become a classic in your home.
