Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Three Cheese Creamy Risotto and Arugula Fennel Salad image

Provided by Brad Sorenson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 bottle light-bodied dry red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Beaujolais
2 shallots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Small bunch fresh basil
2 cloves
1 dry bay leaf
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons cold butter, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 pound, preferably organic, trimmed and squared off a bit
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 slices bacon, not thick cut, from 16-ounce package
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups baby arugula, 2 ounces, trimmed and washed
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced, 1 1/2 cups
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (1/4-inch) thick slices pancetta, 4 3/4-ounces, diced, 1 cup
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 1/3 cups Arborio rice, 9-ounces
1/2 cup white wine
3 cups chicken stock, heated
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1-ounce
2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, 1 1/2-ounces
1-ounce goat cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Sauce:
  • In a medium saucepot, over medium heat, combine the wine, shallots, and garlic and bring to a simmer. Add the basil, cloves, and bay leaf, and let simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1 cup. When reduced, add the chicken stock, and continue to simmer until reduced by half. Strain into another sauce pan and stir in the butter. Season the mixture with salt, and pepper, to taste. Keep warm.
  • Chicken:
  • Season the chicken lightly with salt, and pepper, to taste. Lay 4 slices of bacon crosswise on a cutting board with the slices slightly overlapping. Put a chicken breast on top of the bacon. Bring the bacon slices up and around the chicken so the entire breast is wrapped. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and bacon.
  • In a large oven-proof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Get the pan and oil hot, and then add the bacon-wrapped chicken and cook until the bacon is crispy on both sides, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Salad:
  • Whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Season the salad with salt, and pepper, to taste. Put the arugula and fennel into a large bowl and toss until well coated.
  • Scoop some risotto nicely into the center or each plate, making sure it has some height so the chicken can stand up. Cut the chicken on a bias and put on top of the risotto. Drizzle some of the red wine sauce around the plate and directly over the chicken. Top each plate with some arugula salad and serve.
  • Serving suggestion: Three Cheese Creamy Risotto, recipe follows.
  • Heat a large pot (wider is better than taller) over medium heat and add the olive oil and pancetta. Cook the pancetta until it begins to crisp, and then add the garlic and shallots. Cook the shallots and garlic until they begin to brown in color. Add the rice and stir well to coat. Cook the rice for 1 minute.
  • Add wine and stir well. Stir the rice until the wine is almost completely absorbed. Add in some chicken stock until rice is just covered and stir again until the stock is absorbed into the rice. Continue to gradually add the stock, stirring well after each addition, until the rice is cooked through, but still has a bite. You may not use all of the stock.
  • When rice is cooked, stir in the cheeses and basil. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Season with salt, and pepper, to taste. The risotto should be smooth, creamy, rich, and delicious.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds thinly sliced smoked fish (such as sable, trout, or whitefish)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 fresh fennel bulb, trimmed, halved vertically, cored, sliced paper-thin
2 cups (packed) baby arugula leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Overlap fish on one side of platter. Whisk oil and lemon juice in bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Toss half with fennel and half with arugula. Mound both alongside fish. Sprinkle with chives.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, young arugula and fennel. Look for arugula that is bright green and tender, and fennel that is white and crisp.
  • Fennel fronds can be used in place of fresh dill, or try adding a touch of anise liqueur to the dressing for a subtle licorice flavor.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the fennel. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made vinaigrette dressing instead of making your own.
  • Garnish the salad with a few fresh fennel fronds or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Arugula and fennel salad is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. With its bright flavors and crunchy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
