CHICKEN STEW WITH BISCUITS



Chicken Stew with Biscuits image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 whole (6 split) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 chicken bouillon cubes
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups medium-diced carrots (4 carrots), blanched for 2 minutes
1 10-ounce package frozen peas (2 cups)
1 1/2 cups frozen small whole onions
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 pound (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
3/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin. Cut the chicken into large dice. You will have 4 to 6 cups of cubed chicken.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the onions over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 1 more minute, stirring, until thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and the heavy cream. Add the cubed chicken, carrots, peas, onions, and parsley. Mix well. Place the stew in a 10 x 13 x 2-inch oval or rectangular baking dish. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the biscuits. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. Add the half-and-half and combine on low speed. Mix in the parsley. Dump the dough out on a well-floured board and, with a rolling pin, roll out to 3/8-inch thick. Cut out twelve circles with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter.
  • Remove the stew from the oven and arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush them with egg wash, and return the dish to the oven. Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the biscuits are brown and the stew is bubbly.

JAPANESE CHICKEN AND ROOT VEGETABLE STEW



Japanese Chicken and Root Vegetable Stew image

This vegetable-rich stew is based on a Japanese nimono, a simmered dish flavored with kombu, soy sauce and dried shiitake mushroom caps. Although the ingredients may take some searching (check Japanese or Asian markets, or online), the cooking itself is no harder than the usual chicken soup, and the results are just as comforting. You can substitute other root vegetables for the ones called for here. Just make sure to add the sturdier chunks first (taro, celery root, burdock, kohlrabi, turnip, beets) so they have enough time to cook before adding the quicker-cooking ones (turnips, sweet potatoes, winter squash). If you want to make this vegetarian, you can leave out the chicken. It works equally well. Adding cubes of tofu or pieces of fish or seafood during the last few minutes of cooking is also a nice way to go.

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 to 12 dried Japanese or Chinese shiitake mushrooms (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 piece kombu, about 7 by 3 1/2 inches
1 pound bone-in chicken thighs (2 to 3), skins removed if you prefer (or substitute bone-in breast meat)
4 ounces taro root, celery root or potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces daikon or other radishes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (or use kohlrabi)
4 ounces carrots, yellow beets or lotus root, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup sake
2 1/2 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce or tamari, more to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces sweet potato, white turnip or winter squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
Rice wine vinegar, to taste
Ground sansho pepper, shichimi togarashi or good smoky chile powder, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, soak dried mushrooms in water overnight at room temperature. (Alternatively, you can cover mushrooms with hot water and let soak for 2 hours.)
  • Remove mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Slice off stems and discard them. Cut the caps into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Place kombu in a large pot, add mushrooms and their soaking liquid, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, make a drop lid (called an otoshibuta in Japanese) by folding foil into a round just smaller than the pot. Poke a few holes in the drop lid with a chopstick or knife.
  • As soon as liquid boils, remove kombu and discard or save to reuse. Add chicken, taro, radish, carrot, sake, soy sauce, sugar and salt to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place drop lid directly on top of cooking vegetables and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and set aside. Add sweet potato to the pot, cover pot again with drop lid, and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes, until vegetables are cooked through but not mushy.
  • Meanwhile, shred cooled chicken and divide among four bowls. Stir rice wine vinegar into stew, along with salt to taste, then ladle it into the bowls with the chicken. Garnish with sansho powder or shichimi togarashi and serve.

VEGETABLE-AND-CHICKEN STEW WITH OLIVE-OIL-ROSEMARY BISCUITS



Vegetable-and-Chicken Stew With Olive-Oil-Rosemary Biscuits image

With a biscuit crust that doesn't require rolling and never gets soggy on the bottom, this vegetable-laden spring stew is not only easier than classic chicken potpie, but better.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     weekday, casseroles, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek, washed and chopped
Salt and pepper
2 cups quartered button mushrooms
2 cups chicken stock
1 medium carrot, chopped
8 ounces boneless chicken thighs or breasts, diced
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 cups chopped asparagus
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Zest of 1 lemon
4 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400. Put 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the leek and a sprinkle of salt and pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook until their liquid has released and evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the stock, and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and add the carrots and chicken; cook until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and asparagus. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of the broth until smooth; add to the pot, and stir until the liquid thickens a bit. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Add the butter and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, and pulse until the mixture looks like small peas. Add the buttermilk and eggs, and pulse until just combined (the batter should be sticky).
  • Spread about half of the batter over the stew, leaving a few gaps for steam to escape. Spoon the remaining batter into an ovenproof skillet or baking dish. Bake the stew until golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes, and the extra batter until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Scoop the stew and crust into bowls, adding in extra pieces of biscuit as desired.

Return to oven; bake until cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Ladle stew and biscuits into bowls; serve immediately. Recipe variations: Substitute rutabagas or parsnips for sweet potatoes or turnips. Add 1 cup frozen peas or 1 cup chopped dark, leafy greens like chard or kale to stew before topping with biscuits. For an Indian flavor, add curry powder, turmeric, and garam masala to taste, then stir in a spoonful of spicy mango chutney toward the end of cooking.
