 Directions

1. Shake chicken pieces in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper in a
plastic bag to coat well. 2. Heat oil and butter or margarine in a
12-cup flame proff casserole
or a large skillet. Brown chicken, a few pieces at a time, in hot
fat; remove; keep warm. 3. Saute onion and garlic in drippings until
soft; stir in wine and
brandy; bring to boiling, stirring constantly. Stir in chopped
tomatoes; arrange browned chicken pieces in casserole, spooning
sauce over. 4. Tie a bouquet garni of parsley, bay leaf and thyme in
cheesecloth;
push down into sauce; cover. (If using a skillet, place chicken
in a 12-cup casserole; pour sauce over and add bouquet garni;
cover.) 5. Bake in moderate oven (350) 1 hour. Stir in sliced mushrooms
or
canned mushrooms and liquid. [I saute the fresh mushrooms in
butter 1st.] Bake 15 min. longer, till chicken is tender. Remove
bouquet garni before serving. [I serve with hot steamed rice.] Source:
