CHICKEN A LA CREMA



Chicken a la Crema image

Chicken a la crema is one of my favorite recipes and one of the greatest chicken recipes of all time. It's simple to make, incredibly comforting, and gorgeous to look at. Sauteed mushrooms and onions are well browed to add extra flavor and give the sauce a beautifully rich color. Spoon this into a bowl alongside rice and top with a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprinkle of cilantro, or wrap it up in a fresh, warm tortilla and dunk it in the sauce--no matter how you serve it, this dish should be on every chicken lover's bucket list.

Time 2h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken, quartered
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
2 cups thickly sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 poblano peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
1 large bay leaf
1 ½ cups creme fraiche, divided
2 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves stripped and finely chopped
½ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Brown chicken in olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat until nice and dark on both sides and fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add onion, mushrooms, and salt to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chili powder, cayenne, black pepper, cumin, dried oregano, garlic, and poblano peppers. Cook and stir until peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and bay leaf; stir and increase heat to high. Stir in 1 cup creme fraiche and fresh oregano and bring to a simmer. Add chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot, nestling them into the broth so they are covered. Reduce heat to low or medium-low to maintain a gentle, steady simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Use tongs to carefully transfer chicken to a bowl and let cool enough to handle. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook until braising liquids have reduced by about half, 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off fat from the surface as it cooks.
  • Meanwhile, remove and discard skin and bones from chicken (or save to make stock). Break up the meat into large or small pieces and save any edible drippings.
  • Reduce heat to low and add chicken meat and drippings to the sauce. Simmer until chicken has absorbed the flavor from the sauce, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in chopped cilantro and remaining creme fraiche. Taste to adjust salt and seasonings.

CHICKEN A LA KING, YUMMY COMFORT FOOD



Chicken A La King, Yummy Comfort Food image

Chicken A La King is one of those dishes that seems to be reinvented by every family and restaurant. The dish is relatively easy to produce, and you probably have most of the ingredients in your fridge and pantry. However you make it, it's best served over some nice homemade biscuits, or possibly my Wholesome Cheddar Waffles....

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 c yellow onion, chopped, about 4 ounces
1/4 c celery, chopped, about 2 ounces
2 Tbsp scallions, chopped
6 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
1/4 c all-purpose flour
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/8 tsp ground cumin (optional)
1 c chicken stock
1 c milk, whole fat
2 c chicken, cooked and cubed
1 c green peas, frozen variety will do nicely

Steps:

  • 1. Gather and prep all of your ingredients.
  • 2. Chef's Note: Some people like their mushrooms with more of a bite to them. If that's the case quarter them; instead of thinly slicing.
  • 3. Add the butter to a sauté pan over medium heat.
  • 4. When the butter stops foaming, add the onions, mushrooms, and celery.
  • 5. Sauté until the veggies are tender and just starting to crisp.
  • 6. Reduce heat to medium low, and then add the flour, and stir to incorporate.
  • 7. Add the milk, and chicken stock and continue to stir until fully incorporated.
  • 8. Add the other dry spices, salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and season the dish to taste.
  • 9. Keep stirring until you have removed all of the lumps, and it begins to thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes (depending on the heat of the pan).
  • 10. Add the cubed chicken and peas, and return the pan to a light simmer.
  • 11. Chef's Note: If you happen to be making this dish around Thanksgiving, and you're not sure what to do with the leftover turkey... Well, here ya' go.
  • 12. Continue to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  • 13. Serve over toast, good homemade biscuits, or my Wholesome Cheddar Waffles... or whatever you choose. Enjoy.
  • 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose high quality chicken breasts for a tender and juicy result.
  • Make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking, which promotes even cooking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or breading to add extra taste to the chicken.
  • Pan-searing the chicken breasts over medium-high heat creates a golden brown crust and locks in the juices.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and finish cooking in the oven at a lower temperature to ensure thorough cooking without drying out.
  • Baste the chicken breasts with the pan juices or a sauce during baking to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
