Apple Cider Chicken

Apple Cider Chicken paul Mon, 10/29/2012 - 18:33
Serves 4 Either white or dark meat (or a combination) will work. To ensure even cooking, halve breasts crosswise and separate leg quarters into thighs and drumsticks before cooking. Plain brandy, cognac, or Calvados (a French apple brandy) can be used in place of the apple brandy.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (see note)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped fine
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 large Golden Delicious, Cortland, or Jonagold apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup apple brandy (see note)
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. PREHEAT OVEN Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. BROWN CHICKEN Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chicken, skin-side down, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Flip and brown on second side, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate.
  3. BUILD SAUCE Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Cook onion in chicken fat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme, and flour and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and flour is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add apple, cider, and 3 tablespoons brandy and bring to boil.
  4. ROAST CHICKEN Nestle chicken, skin-side up, into sauce and roast until white meat registers 160 degrees (or dark meat registers 175 degrees), about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Stir vinegar and remaining brandy into sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing sauce at table.

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie paul Fri, 11/29/2013 - 19:19

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • pinch of turmeric
  • pinch of poultry seasoning
  • pinch of dried thyme
  • half an onion, diced
  • a carrot, diced
  • a potato, diced
  • a stalk of celery, diced
  • 2-3 cups chicken, cooked - diced or shredded
  • pie crust of choice (I used a ready made crust for this one, but it is really really good with a bacon fat pie crust.)
  • couple tablespoons of butter for sauteing the veg in
  • salt & pepper
  • You can also add frozen corn and peas to it!

As far as a container to bake the pie in, you'll want a nice deep ceramic or glass pie plate, like this one.

Directions

  • Add a couple tablespoons of butter to a pan over medium heat.
  • Add in the carrot, celery, onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring frequently, for about five minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Add in the chicken, minced garlic, and seasonings. (Please note I added waaaaaay to much turmeric on accident. When I say a pinch I mean a teeny amount - more more than 1/4 teaspoon) Stir around and cook for another couple minutes.
  • Also - preheat your oven to 375 F!
  • Pour in a half cup of flour and stir it around so it coats everything. Let this cook for a couple minutes - stir it the entire time!
  • Now pour in your stock and stir really well. Break up any flour clumps you see and let the mixture come up to a bubble. This will help thicken it.
  • At this point, taste the sauce and add some extra seasoning or salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Turn off the heat. Spoon into pie plate. Cover with crust. Cut steam vents in crust.
  • Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes underneath a baking sheet to catch the drippings.

Creamy Chicken Piccata

Creamy Chicken Piccata paul Wed, 01/09/2019 - 18:45

Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Piccata - chicken breast cutlets pressure cooked with a rich lemon Piccata sauce. Serve the chicken piccata with pasta for an easy dinner that takes only 20 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless and skinless chicken breast sliced horizontal into halves
  • Scant 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 dashes ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon non-pareil capers in jar use the capers only
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Wash and rinse the chicken breasts with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Slice horizontally. Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a dish. Dredge the chicken generously with the flour.

  2. Turn on the Saute mode on your Instant Pot. As soon as the pot is fully heated (to make sure the chicken doesn’t stick to the pot), add the olive oil and butter. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 2-3 minutes on each side until both sides turn brown. (You may brown the chicken on a regular skillet or non-stick skillet.)

  3. Add the garlic and cook a little bit. Add the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, lemon juice and capers. Cover the pot and select Manual and set to High pressure for 10 minutes. When it beeps, turn to Quick Release. When the valve drops, remove the cover carefully. Turn to Saute mode for cook for 1 - 2 minutes to reduce the sauce. Add more salt and lemon juice to suit your taste. Top with the chopped parsley and serve immediately with some plain pasta such as spaghetti or linguine.

Recipe Notes

I used a 6-quart Instant Pot. If you use frozen chicken, increase the pressure cooking time by 50%, or a total of 15 minutes. The heavy whipping cream didn't curdle. You can certainly add the whipping cream after pressure cooking, if you like. If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make this Creamy Chicken Piccata on a stove top. Just brown the chicken on a skillet and following the same method above. Simmer on low heat until the chicken thighs are cooked through.

Indecision Chicken

Indecision Chicken paul Tue, 07/18/2017 - 11:57

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp minced fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh sage
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp seeded mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ¼ cup [60 ml] extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ lb [680 g] boneless, skinless chicken thighs and/ or breasts

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together the garlic, parsley, sage, lemon zest, lemon juice, both mustards, the honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and use your hands to coat each piece with the mixture. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature (or up to overnight, covered, in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature before proceeding). Preheat the grill for high heat (or heat a large grill pan set over a couple of burners). Make sure your grates are super-clean. Grill the chicken, turning the pieces occasionally, until it is nicely browned and is firm to the touch, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and serve immediately or at room temperature with lemon wedges for squeezing over. NOTE: Alternatively, you can roast the chicken in a 425 ° F [220 ° C] oven, turning the pieces halfway through cooking, for about 25 minutes total or broil them for about 5 minutes on each side.

SPIN-OFFS

  • MAKE PLAIN GRILLED CHICKEN (just coat it with olive oil and season with salt) and serve with Cilantro + Scallion Sauce (page 257); Arugula + Walnut Pesto (page 259); Chile, Lemon + Parsley Crème Fraîche (page 261); or Henley Mustard Sauce (see page 151).
  • TRY A DRY RUB INSTEAD OF A MARINADE— one of my favorites is a mixture of equal parts salt, brown sugar, and gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes). This mixture also works really well on steaks and pork chops. Simply rub the chicken pieces with the rub and let them sit for about 1 hour at room temperature (or up to overnight in the refrigerator) before grilling. For great barbecued chicken, use this dry rub and then serve the chicken slathered with store-bought barbecue sauce or Molasses Barbecue Sauce.
