I'm not a master chef, but in my culinary experience, Chicken Chasseur, Hunter Style Chicken and Chicken Cacciatore are all basically the same dish. It's chicken braised in a tomato-based sauce and it often includes wild mushrooms. Individual recipes are as varied as they are numerous, and most are prepared with either red wine or white 鈥?sometimes both!
Chicken Chausser - Hunter's Style


1 1/2 lb chicken tenderloin, cut into 1 inch pieces


2 tbl olive oil


1 tbl garlic, chopped


4 tbl red onions, chopped


16 x mushrooms, stem trimmed, cut in quarters


1/2 cup white wine


2 tsp tarragon


2 tbl parsley, fresh, chopped


1 1/2 cup brown sauce, (a mix like Knorr Swiss is fine)


2/3 cup chunky style pasta sauce


1 x tomato, small dice





This classic sauce can be made ahead and added to your favorite sauteed white meat dish (rabbit, veal, pheasant, quail and even pork).


In olive oil, saute the chicken pieces over high heat for two minutes until lightly browned. Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms and cook for an additional 1 1/2 minutes. Add wine, tarragon and parsley and cook over high heat until liquid reduces by half (approx. 4 minutes).


Add the brown sauce and the tomato sauce and blend in the pan with a rubber spatula. Toss in the chopped tomatoes, blend and serve over cooked rice or pasta. A buttery Chardonnay will work nicely.
