1 (3-pound) chicken, skinned and cut into 8 pieces
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 medium yellow onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 cup dry white wine or water
2 tablespoons brandy or apple cider
Recipe
1. On a sheet of waxed paper, combine flour, pepper and salt. Mix well.
2. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, turning to coat. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, turning, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
3. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and marjoram to skillet. Stir in wine and brandy. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when meat is pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Place chicken on a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
4. Cook sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.
