Chicken Fricassee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 lb. chicken cut into eight parts
1/2 lb. white onions, peeled and trimmed
1 stick (4 oz.) melted butter
3/4 c. peanut butter
mushrooms, quartered
3/4 bottle dry white wine
2 c. cream

Preparation

Melt the butter in a large, fairly deep saute pan.
Add chicken pieces, cut into 8 parts, onions and cook very gently until each one slightly colored.
Add mushrooms, pour in the wine, cover and simmer over gentle heat until chicken is done; about 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove the chicken, onions and mushrooms with a slotted spoon and transfer to a heated serving platter; cover and keep warm.
Make the sauce by reducing the cooking juices by half over moderately high heat.
Add the cream and boil hard for about 5 minutes.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
Pour the sauce over the chicken, mushrooms, and onions. Serves 4.
