The official name of this dish is Chicken Chasseur. Of course, if you say that in a house that doesn't understand French you might get the 'what to hell is that' look as I did when I said it to my daughter. She understands Spanish but not French so I got 'the look'.
Let's look at our seasoning lineup; tarragon, parsely, and chicken broth or stock. If you choose to purchase cognac great if not just use extra chicken stock. White wine can be purchased in small amounts from liquor stores. This way you have exactly what you need.
Now the veggies. Mushrooms this particular recipe calls for Baby Bella (smaller Portobello). If you can find them great if not move on to button mushrooms. Tomatoes or tomato paste. Personally I'd say go for both. Little red tomatoes would look beautiful in this stew. Maybe throw in some green beans. Other than that salt and pepper.
The cooking method. Personally, I would sear the chicken in a cast iron pan and make part of the sauce in the pan. Just scrape the goodies off of the bottom. Put everything in the slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours. That depends on the size of chicken you use. Are you doing a whole bird, thighs, breast or combination of tighs and breast? These are things you have to consider. If you make this before I do please share the results.
