PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MOREL MUSHROOM SAUCE
Morel mushrooms are one of the most delicious-and fleeting-signs of spring, and this one-pan dish is a decadent way to usher in the new season. In it, tender whole chicken legs are finished in a creamy sauce that's layered with the flavors of morels, herbs and white wine. Round out the meal with a salad of mixed greens, oven-roasted potatoes or rice pilaf for an impressive dinner-party menu.

Steps:
- Season the chicken generously all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke, add the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown all over, flipping halfway through, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate; set aside.
- Return the pan to medium heat and add the shallots and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the shallots are soft and the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, gently stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms begin to release liquid, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add the broth and thyme and bring back to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up, along with any juices from the plate and cover with the lid slightly ajar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Swirl in the cream and return the mushroom mixture to the pan. Simmer (uncovered) over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on a serving plate, spoon the mushroom sauce over and sprinkle with chives.
CREAMY MOREL MUSHROOM SAUCE
This is my (and DH's) all-time favorite recipe. We usually reserve this delectable mushroom sauce for special occasions, because it is by far the VERY BEST mushroom sauce ever! I got the recipe from my brother-in-law who traveled quite a bit for his job as an aerospace engineer. While in Micronesia during one of his business trips, he ordered grilled steak that was served with a creamy morel mushroom sauce. One bite, and he was completely hooked (which was my experience as well). And it then became his personal mission in life to duplicate that recipe. After trying various versions, he eventually came up with this recipe, and he passed it on to me (some begging and groveling was involved). I'm posting it here with his approval. Thanks, Jimmy!

Steps:
- Soak the dried morel mushrooms in the red wine just long enough to rehydrate them, about 20-30 minutes is usually sufficient. (I use a plastic container with a lid for this step. That way, I can tilt the container occasionally or shake it around a bit, to be sure all the mushrooms are adequately rehydrating.).
- After the mushrooms are rehydrated, place them in a colander and rinse with cool water to remove any grit from the mushrooms. Leave the colander in the sink to allow the excess water to drain from the colander.
- Finely mince the rehydrated mushrooms; set aside.
- In a large skillet, saute the minced shallots in butter just until they are clear, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced mushrooms and beef base, and stir well. While stirring, add the cream and pepper, continuing to stir constantly until the sauce is thickened.
- Spoon the sauce over grilled steaks (especially New York or Sirloin), veal, lamb, grilled chicken breasts, or pasta.
- NOTE: For the wine, it doesn't really matter what kind of red wine you use. The wine is just to rehydrate the mushrooms, not to really flavor the sauce. So feel free to use whatever red wine you have on hand. I have used a lot of different red wines for this sauce, and they all seem to work just fine. But I probably use merlot and cabernet the most. But if a different variety of red wine is your favorite, then by all means use it. That way, if you use a wine you actually enjoy drinking, then it's more likely you'll enjoy using it in this recipe.

MOREL MUSHROOM SAUCE
I use both fresh morels or reconstituted mushrooms that I dried earlier. My family loves to hunt for morels and can be sold for up to $50 a pound when fresh!
