Ingredients:

1 cup

Olive Oil

2 tsps

Canola Oil

2 tbsps

Cognac

Directions:

1

Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute longer

2

To make potatoes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees

3

Place a roasting pan in the oven for 5 minutes to preheat

4

In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, garlic, and olive oil and stir to coat the potatoes and garlic

5

Season generously with salt and pepper

6

Transfer to the roasting pan and roast, stirring occasionally until potatoes are soft when pierced with the tip of a knife and the garlic cloves are very soft and sweet in flavor, about 40 minutes

7

Remove from oven and keep warm

8

To make mushrooms: In a 12-inch saute pan, heat the butter over medium heat

9

Add the shallots and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened

10

Add the mushrooms and thyme

11

Cover the pan and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices

12

If the mushrooms seem dry during cooking, add about 1/4 cup of the chicken stock

13

When the mushrooms are soft, add the rest of the chicken stock, raise the heat to high, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes

14

There will be quite a bit of liquid in the mushrooms

15

Remove them from the heat, cover, and set side to keep warm

16

To make the chicken: Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat

17

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper

18

Place the chicken breasts in the pan, skin side down

19

Cook for about 6 minutes, until golden brown

20

Turn and cook until the juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 6 more minutes

21

Add the rosemary and cook, basting frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes longer, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned

22

Transfer to a serving platter and set it aside, covered, to keep warm

23

Pour off any oil in the pan and add the wine and Cognac

24

Raise the heat to high and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon

25

Add the stock and cook until the sauce is reduced nearly by half or thickened and richly flavored, about 4 minutes

26

Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter

27

Season with the chives, salt, and pepper

28

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve, passing the mushrooms and potatoes on the side
