Sautéed chicken hunter style is a classic of French cuisine, a simple recipe, but always greatly appreciated Here we cut the chicken into pieces so it's easy to serve family-style. The button mushrooms and shallots cook right with the meat, and it's the marc (or cognac) that gives the tomato and white wine sauce its kick. Plan on 35 minutes total, covered pot.
