PAUL PRUDHOMME'S CHICKEN DIANE



Paul Prudhomme's Chicken Diane image

This was one of my FAVORITE chicken dishes growing up. We didn't have it too often, (for health reasons :) but when we did I knew it was going to be a good night! If you can't find Paul Prudhomme's "Magic Cajun Spice" you can substitute his "Magic Poultry" or even "Magic for Veal or Pork", but the Cajun seasoning gives it a good kick! Also, we much more prefer boneless skinless thighs. In our family's opinion this dish is just not as flavorful with breast meat, but I left the recipe as it was written by Paul Prudhomme.

CHICKEN DIANE WITH CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES



Chicken Diane with Crispy Roasted Potatoes image

One of my husband's favorite dishes is steak Diane but I'm not a big red meat eater. So, I came up with this chicken version made with a sauce that has the same flavors as the original. I serve it alongside "crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside" roasted potatoes that cook in the time it takes to make the chicken.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes, cut in half
4 tablespoons unsalted ghee, melted
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 large shallot, halved and thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, grated or minced
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1/4 cup cognac or brandy
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoon minced chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the ghee and toss to coat. Liberally sprinkle with flaky sea salt then arrange all the potatoes cut-side down. Roast in the oven until golden brown, crispy and easily pierced with a paring knife, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes roast, prepare the chicken: Liberally season both sides of the breasts with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining ghee followed by the chicken. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this point.) Remove to a shallow bowl or plate.
  • Next, add the remaining 1 tablespoon ghee followed by the shallot and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes, then season with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add the cognac or brandy. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a match and place back on the heat. Cook until the flame subsides, 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Add the stock, cream, Dijon and Worcestershire sauce. Stir together and taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the potatoes between 2 shallow bowls or plates followed by the mushroom sauce and chicken. Sprinkle with the chives, parsley and more pepper.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup water
1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix (such as Good Seasons®)
1 pound boneless chicken pieces, cut into bite-size chunks
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package sliced crimini mushrooms
1 large tomato, chopped
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, water, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl. Stir in the chicken; allow chicken to marinate while preparing the remaining ingredients.

Remove the the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon, and transfer to the skillet; reserve the remaining marinade.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and a flavorful white wine will make all the difference in the taste of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to do it in batches so that the pieces have enough space to brown properly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the pan.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables, but not so thick that it is gloopy. If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Chicken Diane is best served hot, so make sure to have everything ready to go before you start cooking.

Conclusion:

Chicken Diane is a classic French dish that is sure to impress your guests. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and elegant presentation, it is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner.
