CHICKEN OSCAR

This is a very simple, yet elegant entree which is especially nice for a romantic meal. It's best if you can find fresh dungeness crab, but even canned crab will work.

CHICKEN OSCAR WITH LEMON CHIVE SAUCE



Chicken Oscar With Lemon Chive Sauce image

This recipe comes from Farm Bureau Insurance. This is their March/April 2007 recipe of the month. I have not tried it, but the combination of the lemon chive sauce, chicken and asparagus, etc. sounds delicious. This is a little twist on the usual hollandaise sauce. I have estimated the cook time. If you try it, I hope you enjoy it!

CHICKEN OSCAR WITH A HOLLANDAISE SAUCE



Chicken Oscar With a Hollandaise Sauce image

Here is my version of Chicken Oscar, I know there are many different recipes that usually only slightly vary in ingredients, whether it be what seafood is used, to the sauce it is served with. There is a restaurant in Australia that serves Mortan Bay Bugs (they come from the crayfish family.) with theirs with a mushroom sauce. I have also been to restaurants in London, where the meat is veal. Which ever way you choose to make it and no matter what your choice of ingredients are, it is still a very yummy dish that always goes down well with guests. I made this the other night when my sister came over with her daughter, there were 5 of us, but I have adjusted the ingredients below with what I believe will work for 4 people.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken breasts
250 g lump crabmeat
8 medium prawns
8 asparagus spears
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon chicken stock
225 g butter
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Heat some olive oil in a pan, add chicken breasts and brown both sides to give a good colour.

  • While the chicken is simmering, heat some more oil in another pan and cook prawns until pink and cooked through.
  • Boil, steam or microwave asparagus until tender.
  • Just berfore serving heat crab meat in microwave (I always use fresh crab meat so I am not sure how this will taste with canned.).
  • To serve: Place breast on plate top with crab meat, arrange 2 prawns on top and finally top with asparagus, drizzle hollandaise over.
  • For The Hollandaise.
  • Melt the butter slowly in a medium-sized saucepan. Once the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and leave to one side.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
  • Whilst continuing to whisk, add the lemon juice, wine and cayenne pepper to the beaten egg yolks.
  • Next, very slowly to begin with, whisk in the melted butter and the 2 tbsp of water. Continue to whisk constantly.
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan, heat over a very low heat, still whisking all the time until the sauce thickens.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in a recipe to your liking. Taste the dish as you cook it and add more salt, pepper, or other spices as needed.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Use a Good Quality White Wine: The white wine you use in this recipe should be a dry, unoaked variety. A Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay would be a good choice.
  • Serve the Chicken Oscar Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The crab meat and asparagus will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken Oscar is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It's elegant, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to cook, give Chicken Oscar a try.
