Braised Chicken (with Vegetables and Gravy)

January 6, 2019 by victor 143 Comments

This Braised Chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and exceptionally tasty. The ingredient list for this braised chicken is short and simple, while the flavors are deep and rich. The chicken is braised in gravy and there is not need to thicken the sauce later. | ifoodblogger.com

Sweet carrots and onions, earthy celery and savory garlic are very simple ingredients that give this dish of braised chicken a magical flavor. A big part of the final flavor profile is browning of chicken prior to braising. Caramelized skin not only adds a ton of flavor, but also gives the dish its appealing color.

This braised chicken is very simple and rustic yet very flavorful and exceptionally tasty. It’s hard to mess it up and even novice cooks will have a lot of success making it. You can use different parts of chicken to make it, and even chicken breasts won’t taste dry and chalky. However, dark meat is the best choice here. This recipe, in many ways, resembles my highly popular Rustic Slow Cooker Chicken. However, braising adds a new dimension to chicken taste and you will notice the difference immediately. If I were to take sides here, braised chicken wins without much doubt.

Importance of using a proper braising cookware

It goes without saying, but to make braised chicken you must use a good quality braiser. Speaking from own experience, a baking pan covered with foil won’t suffice. Braisers are designed to cook food evenly from the bottom and the top, and to release just enough steam during cooking. There is a general consensus that copper braisers are best,  but they are expensive. A relatively inexpensive cast iron braiser will do the job with aplomb.

Taking it a step further

After browning the chicken, take it out and add the vegetables to the braiser. Giving the vegetables a quick sear will add even more flavor and enhance the taste of the braised chicken. But don’t stop there. Once the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, add some butter and flour and make a roux. The nutty flavor of flour browned in butter will add another layer of flavor. The roux will thicken the liquids in the braiser, resulting in a tasty, luscious gravy that will go so well with the chicken.

Braising takes time so don’t rush it. While the chicken will be perfectly cooked after an hour or so of cooking, it will taste best after spending two and half to three hours in the oven. The meat will be fall-off-the-bone tender and succulent.

Serving braised chicken

Braised chicken can be served with a variety of side dishes but try it with a bowl of white jasmine rice. The two go exceptionally well together.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken quarters (or substitute with chicken drumsticks, thighs or breasts)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Onion powder (to taste)
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 yellow onions (cut into 1/2" slices)
  • 3 carrots (cut into 1" pieces)
  • 3 stalks celery (cut into 1/2" pieces)
  • 6 cloves garlic (roughly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Set aside.
  • Heat two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of olive oil in a braiser over medium heat. Add the chicken, cover and let sear for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is nicely browned. Flip, cover and continue searing for another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken from the braiser and set aside.
  • Add the onions, celery and carrots to the braiser. Bump the temperature up to medium high and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly caramelized and softened. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds more.
  • Add the remaining butter to the braiser and let it melt. Add the flour and mix really well, ensuring no clumps remain. Cook, stirring until the flour turns brown and acquires nutty aroma.
  • Pour in the broth and stir well. Turn off the heat. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Stir in the red wine vinegar. Add the chicken back, nestling the pieces inside the vegetable mix.
  • Cover the braiser and transfer to an oven preheated to 350 F.  Braise for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and serve hot with jasmine rice or any other side dish of choice. Give the sauce/gravy a stir before pouring over chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley.

    This has become my wife’s favorite dish. I’ve made this many times now. I substitute petite golden potatoes (quartered) for the celery, I add an extra tbsp of EVOO & butter for braising. I add an extra tbsp of butter for the roux, 1/3 cup of flower, 3 3/4 cups of broth & double the red wine vinegar. One of the few dishes I can use to get my little one to eat veggies.

    I made a few adjustments, though mostly just adding things I had on hand (mushrooms, red bell pepper etc). The biggest change was dropping the oven temperature way down. Apparently 350 for that long has worked for others, but it just seems like a lot of energy especially post sear.

    I ended up trying 250 for 3hrs and it was amazing. Very moist and tender. Even if it works at 350, I’d still suggest going lower. If anything you’ll save some power! 300 would offer insurance as a compromise. I gave myself an hour leeway in case 250 didn’t get there.

      I always use skin-on, bone-in chicken for this recipe but I don’t see why skinless, boneless won’t work. Not sure about the cooking time in this case, but try after 1.5 – 2 hours and see if it’s good or needs a little more cooking. Good luck!

    Hands down one of the best recipes I’ve made in a while. I doubled the roux because I’m a big fan of gravy. Braised it for 2 hours based on other reviews and it came out beautifully; all the veggies were cooked to perfection. This will be a go-to recipe whenever I want to impress!

    Perfect…followed every step including the use of a good braising pan…used fresh pastured chicken so I was searching for a new recipe to make it more tender and release flavor…worth every effort and certainly lived up to every promise. Thank you. This recipe will encourage me to believe pastured chicken is worth every penny. PS my braising pot was expensive but there is NO doubt it has enhanced my cooking results. Thank you for sharing all your advice — THIS is what makes cooking more spiritual!

    We have made this in our dutch oven twice now and loved it! Two changes we made the 2nd time were to take the vegetables out before making the roux (then dump them back in once it’s browned), and also adding about a tablespoon of tomato paste to the roux for richer flavor. I’m a sucker for that deep reddish brown gravy. I think we also added another pat or two of butter and some more flour, just to get more gravy out of it. This recipe will be a monthly staple in our house now!

      Well, I am sure some people will tell you that yes, it will still have the same quality as freshly prepared but I disagree, it won’t in my opinion. Will it be bad? Not at all. Reheat it slowly, at 250F, covered with a lid/foil, and will be very good. I would prepare some extra gravy as the extra cooling/heating cycles will remove quite a bit of moisture.

    I followed recipe, but veggies were mush and lost almost all the gravy. Flavour was amazing. Cooked for 2 1/2 hours in convection oven at 350 degrees. Is this too high for for convection cooking? Should I reduce temp to 300 degrees and cook longer? I used Dutch oven. Any suggestions?

      November 10, 2021 at 10:50 pm

      Never had a problem with veggies turning into mush but we may have different definitions of what mush is… It’s possible that cooking in a Dutch oven where everything is piled on top each other in liquid basically boils the veggies to the point where they become mushy.

      Different ovens bake differently too, so take that into account. There isn’t a perfect recipe for every oven, often adjustments need to be made. I don’t braise on convection as it tends to burn, regular baking mode is better. That said, lowering the temp as you suggested makes sense… or turn the convection off. Good luck!

    An add on to my previous post.

    I used a Cuisinart 12” sauté pan with an oven safe glass lid.

    It held 4 huge, bone in, skin on chicken thighs perfectly. I use this for all my braised dishes and they come out great. I would not even consider buying a braiser pan. The sauté pan is much more useful and versatile.

      I get your enthusiasm about your saute pan as i used one with a glass lid for years for things like this, but the braising pan/pot tip is no joke. As soon as I got my STAUB 7QT braising pot all of my usual dishes are coming out exceptional with greater browning and caramelization. Loved my stainless combo for years, would never go back now though.

      Recipe is fantastic btw, only changes is i added my red wine vinegar pre-flour and also added some tomato paste.

        I have two braisers, a smaller copper one and a large cast iron braiser. Love cooking in both and have been using them fairly frequently for a while now. The way braisers cook cannot be replicated and I’ve tried other seemingly similar tools like a Dutch oven, saute pans and roasting pans. To replicate that browning, caramelization and tenderness, you need to have thick walls and a low rise with a thick lid with a large capacity to store heat. There is no other way. You may get somewhat similar results, and the food will taste great, but it will not have those very characteristics that braised meat has.

    Recipe makes great chicken & gravy, however vegetable were just mush.

    Next time I will prep trice as many vegetables and put 1/2 of them aside.

    I would cook the same recipe for about 2 hours.

    I would take the chicken out and pour the sauce and vegetables through a strainer keeping the gravy.

    Then I would sauté the set aside vegetables as per the original recipe,

    Add the chicken and gravy back to the pan and cook until the vegetables are cooked but still are crispy, maybe 45-60 minutes.

        We are typically white meat fans but with this recipe the dark meat is better at grabbing the dishes flavors.
        Will try chicken thighs next time.

    Ok, so I don’t usually leave comments on recipes I try, but I just have to say YUM! Followed the recipe almost exactly. I did add way more garlic, brined for 4 hours before cooking, and only cooked 2 hours. The flavor is amazing in this! Chicken literally fell apart, so we shredded it and made it like a stew. Not sure what could make this better. Might try a different combo of veggies next time and will use boneless skinless thighs. Thank you for sharing!

    Hi Victor,
    My compliments to you, this recipe was outstanding! I made mine in my Le Crueset and it was perfect for the job. The flavors are wonderful and the house smelled divine for hours, before, during and after being in the oven. Actually, the aromas while prepping this brought back memories of something I may have smelled as a child in my grandmother’s kitchen.
    Enjoyed making this the first time, and I’m excited to make this again. It was easy, and economical and would serve well as a company dinner. I loved the fact that I had everything so readily available in my kitchen.
    Thank you!

    Absolutely delicious! Family was impressed. I did a side of mashed potatoes and the gravy went perfectly with it! I followed someone else’s comment about reducing the baking time to 1.5 hours for more gravy, so we had an abundance of gravy at the end!

    Made this braised chicken for dinner tonight, and it was as good as it looks! Delicious over rice with a side of broccoli. Hubny is going in for seconds! Will definitely make this dish again, and add some hot pepper flakes!

    Hey I had a quick question
    I’m planning on making this for dinner tomorrow night, and was wondering whether or not to leave the skin on the chicken or remove it before cooking?
    Thank you!!☺️

      Hi Rebecca,

      Apologies for the late response. Most of the time, I cook chicken with skin on, it adds a lot of flavor. That said, skinless will work just fine too.

    Loved this recipe! My husband adores it also! Only problem I’ve had is after cooking for more than an hour and a half my veggies all turned to mush!😳 Next time I’m going to add half the veggies then add the other half after the hour- hour and a half mark. Hopefully that will help!

    I made this tonight according to the recipe except that I added fresh mushrooms and only baked it for an hour and a half because I wanted a sufficient amount of gravy. It was so good my husband said, “I have to go back for seconds this is so good”. So thank you!

    Thanks for sharing this recipe! At 50-something I am finally getting interested in cooking. This is the third thing I’ve made in my new cast iron Dutch oven and it was a hit! My sweet husband (who is a great cook) and our son will eat anything I make and say nice things, but their biggest compliment is what this dish received – ” you can make this again!”

    I tend to be conservative with seasoning on a first try, so the only thing I would change is I’d add more of the spices next time. I got a little worried that 4 chicken quarters was too much, so I used two quarters and several smaller pieces, which turned out perfectly!

    Love this recipe – so easy and makes the house smell wonderful. I wouldn’t go past 2 1/2 hrs though – and if you do, check at 2 1/2 and add more broth if you go any longer. At 2 1/2 mine was perfect, but at 3 I lost all of my gravy. I added a little broth as soon as I took it out of the oven, so it wasn’t dry, but the gravy is so good, I was sad to lose it.

    Made this last night with turnip, onion, carrots and one giant, skinless boneless chicken breast, all stuff that was lingering in the fridge. Hubby is not particularly easy to please. Well, he went face down in it and kept making happy sounds. He just had it again for lunch. I served it with whole grain rice and homemade bread. It was wonderful. Wish I could send a picture. I was pretty proud of myself, lol. Thank you.

      Hi Becky, yes, you can. I find that cooktop braising, no matter how low, still cooks hotter than oven. 1.5 to two hours should do. Make sure to check periodically and add liquid as needed.

    Yes! This is a keeper! Tried it a couple of weeks ago when it was still chilly in Los Angeles – the hubby and I both loved it! The flavors were just amazing for something that seems so simple. Today it was 90 degrees out, and I was craving it again, but didn’t want to have my oven on for 3 hours, so I made it in my Instant Pot! This was my first time modifying an oven recipe for the pressure cooker, and…I braised the chicken and veggies on the saute setting of the Instant Pot, everything else the same, except for time. I gave it 22 minutes under pressure and it came together beautifully! Happy, happy! Thank you.

    I used a Dutch oven and followed this recipe pretty closely except I used minced jar garlic. It cooked perfectly in 2 1/2 hours. The meat was soooo tender and the gravy was the right consistency. We served it over white rice although it was a meal in itself. Absolutely delicious! I’m so glad I found this recipe. Thank you!

    I made this dish tonight but with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, it was a big hit. I had it in the oven for 3 hrs and alit if the chicken stock evaporated?
    I’ll definitely make it again. But with the chicken leg quarters.

    I used boneless chicken thigh and I cooked it on a cast iron pot. Everything went very good, chicken so soft and tasty. The red wine vinegar made the taste devine as my boss said. I served it with bulgur and also quinoa to make it more healthier. I never used butter at all😊

        Roy, a leg quarter, depending on the size of the chicken, will be about 3/4 to 1 lb each. Of course, almost half of that will be bones.

    Ok, this is very good, it reminds me of a chicken and rice dish my mother made only on steroids! I had red
    wine, but I drank it, sooo red wine vinegar it was.
    Didn’t have a brazier, so I used what I had. A pot.
    Put the flour in before butter, don’t think it was a
    critical error. What do I know. I’ll have a do over
    but it was very good! Cheers.

        Almost. A braiser is more shallow and has a bigger foot print. Food is not layered in a braiser. It cooks differently from a dutch oven.
