Steps

Prepare chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper.

⏱ 5 min💡 Cut pieces evenly (4–5 cm) for uniform cooking.

Add olive oil, chicken pieces, onion, and garlic to the bowl.

GastroLab:

Install stirring attachment. On touchscreen: select Manual → set 100°C, Speed 8, Time 3 min → press knob to start. This quick sear will brown the chicken slightly.

⏱ 3 min💡 Browning adds depth of flavor; don't skip this step.

Add white wine, chicken stock, mustard, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Braise until chicken is tender.

GastroLab:

Keep stirring attachment installed. On touchscreen: select Manual → set 95°C, Speed 1, Time 57 min → press knob to start. The low speed and gentle heat will simmer the chicken until fork-tender without overcooking.

⏱ 57 min💡 Gentle simmering (95°C, Speed 1) ensures moist, tender chicken. Do not exceed 95°C or use a higher speed; the meat will toughen.

Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning.

GastroLab:

Hold knob for 3 seconds to stop the program. Remove the bowl carefully (hot). Stir with a spoon and taste. Add extra salt, pepper, or fresh herbs as desired.

⏱ 5 min💡 Remove herb sprigs before serving if preferred, or leave them for aroma and authenticity.

Chef's note: Serve in shallow bowls with the braising liquid, accompanied by crusty bread, rice, or steamed potatoes. A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or light Pinot Noir pairs beautifully. The aromatics of thyme and rosemary can be enhanced by crushing a sprig gently over each plate just before serving.
