RISHIA ZIMMERN'S CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS



Rishia Zimmern's Chicken With Shallots image

Here is a simple, excellent one-pot recipe for a midweek feast, full of rich flavor, with a sauce that you won't want to waste. It came to The Times in 2014 via the Twitter account of Andrew Zimmern, the chef and globe-trotting television personality who thrills to home cooking when he's not at work, which is not often. His then wife, Rishia Zimmern, adapted it from Martha Stewart, and he put it on the social network: "Brown 8 thighs, 3 C shallots. Add wine, tarragon, Dijon, sim 30 min covered. Remove lid, reduce. Add 2C cut cherry toms." We've been messing around with that ever since, and thrill to its flavor. Lay in bread to accompany it, and sop up the sauce.

Categories     dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 to 15 whole medium shallots, peeled
2 cups white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tarragon sprigs
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken thighs very dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the flour, salt and pepper over the chicken.
  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet set over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, until well browned and crisp on all sides. Set aside.
  • Add the whole shallots to the pot and sauté them in the butter and chicken fat until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, stir with a large spoon, then add the mustard and tarragon, then the chicken thighs. Cover the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes to the pot, stir lightly to combine and serve immediately.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chicken breasts
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, is best for this dish. Avoid using a sweet wine, as it will make the dish too sweet.
  • Use good quality shallots. Shallots are a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use good quality ones. Look for shallots that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be most tender and juicy when it is fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Chicken with Wine and Shallots is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always impresses. The combination of dry white wine, shallots, and chicken creates a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
