  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron pan or braiser over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces well with salt and pepper.

  • Pour off all but two tablespoons of fat from the pan. Reduce heat to medium.

  • Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for a minute or two.
  • Stir in the wine, chicken stock and cream and bring to a boil.
  • Add browned chicken, skin-side up, and any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Adjust heat to keep liquid at a simmer, and cook until chicken is done all the way through, about 45 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Started washing dishes in restaurants (the Moose Lodge to be precise) at 13. Worked at a bunch of Long Island restaurants from 14 to 18, did salad prep, sous, breakfasts, line, short order and whatever role was open. Loved it, and kept cooking when I went into the Army at 18. By 22, stopped cooking for work, but still cook at home a lot. Now, I actually think I am a better cook than ever, and have even considered opening my own restaurant some day.
