Best 3 Chicken And Chanterelles Recipes

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH ROSEMARY AND CHANTERELLES AND ROASTED GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• To make potatoes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a roasting pan in the oven for 5 minutes to preheat. In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, garlic, and olive oil and stir to coat the potatoes and garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to the roasting pan and roast, stirring occasionally until potatoes are soft when pierced with the tip of a knife and the garlic cloves are very soft and sweet in flavor, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and keep warm.
• To make mushrooms: In a 12-inch saute pan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute longer. Add the mushrooms and thyme. Cover the pan and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices. If the mushrooms seem dry during cooking, add about 1/4 cup of the chicken stock.
• When the mushrooms are soft, add the rest of the chicken stock, raise the heat to high, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 6 minutes. There will be quite a bit of liquid in the mushrooms. Remove them from the heat, cover, and set side to keep warm.
• To make the chicken:
• Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in the pan, skin side down. Cook for about 6 minutes, until golden brown. Turn and cook until the juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 6 more minutes. Add the rosemary and cook, basting frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes longer, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Transfer to a serving platter and set it aside, covered, to keep warm.
• Pour off any oil in the pan and add the wine and Cognac. Raise the heat to high and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add the stock and cook until the sauce is reduced nearly by half or thickened and richly flavored, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Season with the chives, salt, and pepper. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve, passing the mushrooms and potatoes on the side.

CHICKEN WITH CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA WINE

Steps:

• Stir flour and paprika together in a shallow dish. Remove and set aside 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture for later use. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chanterelle mushrooms in melted butter until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Cook the chicken breasts in the melted butter until browned, about 3 minutes per side; season with salt and pepper.
• Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and stir in chicken broth, reserved 1 tablespoon of flour-paprika mixture, Marsala wine, and dried tarragon. Place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook until the sauce is thick, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

FENNEL, CHANTERELLE, AND CHICKEN EN CROUTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stuffing: Saute chanterelles, leeks, and onions until transparent. Add wine and let boil and reduce until almost dry. Add heavy cream and reduce until thick. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely.
• Make a slit on side of breast and using the back of a wooden spoon, open the slit into a pocket. Stuff it with the mushroom mixture.
• In a hot, ovenproof skillet, saute chicken in butter. Turn when slightly brown and place in oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, pour off excess grease, and set breasts aside to rest.
• Place pan on stove, add the leeks, onion, and fennel. Let cook until translucent. Add the garlic and Herbes de Provence and stir until aromatic. Deglaze with the Chablis and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Roll out the puff pastry dough and halve width-wise into two short rectangles. Place a chicken breast in the bottom half of the dough. Top with half the fennel sauce. Fold the long part of the dough over the chicken and press the edges to seal with a fork. Brush with egg white wash. Poke a design in the top of the crust with a knife. Bake for 15 minutes.
