Serves: 4
 
8 chicken thighs, seasoned on both sides with salt and pepper
3 tablespoons good olive oil
5 tablespoons butter, divided
¼ cup flour
3 tablespoons minced ginger
1 whole star anise
8 halved shallots
3 lbs. Cinnamon Cap mushrooms, cleaned and cut (stems separated)
1½ cups dry white wine or chicken broth.
½ cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste.
 
 
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes.  Add the olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, swirling them around and together.
  2. When the butter/oil foam subsides, dredge each chicken piece lightly in it.  Add each chicken piece to the hot skillet.
  3. Cook the thighs, turning once, until the chicken is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.  Transfer the pieces to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
  4. Add the remaining butter to the skillet along with ginger and the star anise. 
  5. Add the shallots.  Cook until the shallots are softened.
  6. Add the mushrooms stems to the skillet.  Cook, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes.
  7. Add the mushroom caps and continue to stir occasionally for about 3 more minutes or until the mushrooms have given up their liquid.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet.  Adjust the seasonings.  Add the wine or broth time and cook over medium heat until the sauce reduces and the chicken is tender, not more than another 5 minutes.  Remove the star anise.
  9. Place stew in a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro
