Chicken In Riesling With
Grapes
1/4 cup Chopped shallots
10 milliliters Garlic,
minced
6 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon Dry
tarragon
1 Chicken (3+ lbs.), cut into quarters
Ground white
pepper
1/2 cup Riesling or dry white wine
2 tablespoons
Cornstarch
1/3 cup Whipping cream
1/2 cup Seedless green
grapes
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Salt.
In a 4 quart or
larger electric slow cooker, combine shallots, garlic, mushrooms,
and tarragon. Rinse chicken and pat dry; then arrange, overlapping
pieces slightly, on top of mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with white
pepper; pour in wine. Cover and cook at low setting until meat near
thighbone is very tender when pierced (6-7+hrs). Carefully lift
chicken to a warm platter and keep warm. Skim and discard fat from
cooking liquid. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cream, blend
into cooking liquid. Increase cooker heat setting to high; cover and
cook stirring 2 or 3 times, until sauce is thickened about 10 more
minutes. Stir in grapes and then season to taste with lemon juice
and salt. Cover and cook for 3-5 more minutes. To serve spoon sauce
over chicken. "True to its origins in Alsace - the region of eastern
France bordering Germany- this creamy, mushroom-sauced chicken is
good with noodles"
