Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. Wash chicken pieces thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Season chicken pieces generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat olive or vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat.
  5. Brown chicken pieces in the hot oil, turning as needed to sear all sides.
  6. Adjust heat to ensure chicken browns quickly without burning.
  7. Transfer browned chicken to a shallow casserole dish large enough to hold pieces in a single layer.
  8. Add chopped onions to the same skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until soft and lightly colored.
  9. Stir in all-purpose flour, mixing well with the onions to form a paste.
  10. Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and bring to a boil.
  11. Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
  12. Pour the hot sauce evenly over the chicken in the casserole dish.
  13. Cover the dish tightly and bake for about 20 minutes.
  14. Scatter sliced mushrooms over the chicken, re-cover, and bake for 10 minutes longer or until chicken is tender.
  15. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving.
