  3. Remove the chicken and sauté diced mushrooms, minced shallots, chopped celery, and minced garlic in the same pot for about 7 minutes until soft.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually pour in white wine and deglaze the pan. Simmer until thickened, then stir in chicken stock.
  5. Add halved baby potatoes and browned chicken pieces to the pot, cover, and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  6. Stir in cream after roasting and let it rest for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve on a large platter with chicken, potatoes, and sauce.
