Preparation method
Marinating the meat
Place the chicken in a large bowl and pour the red wine over it. Add the thyme and bay leaves. Cover the bowl and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Searing meat
Heat the butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the marinade.
Cook the chicken until browned all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Making the sauce
Add the sliced prosciutto to the same pan and cook until crispy.
Add the finely chopped onions and garlic and fry until soft and lightly browned.
Add the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes, stirring well. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until well combined.
Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the marinade and game stock. Bring to a boil.
Add the carrot slices, celery, and mushrooms. Stir well, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Cover the pan and simmer gently for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Stir occasionally and add some water if necessary.
Season with salt and pepper. Remove the thyme and bay leaves and serve with chopped parsley, mashed potatoes, or freshly baked baguette.
Wine tip: A robust red wine; a large Bordeaux or a Syrah from the Rhone.
