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.

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.

MUSTARD-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON RECIPE



MUSTARD-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON Recipe image

Provided by á-3145

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed and patted dry
1 tablespoon grapeseed or other neutral oil
2 medium shallots, halved and thinly sliced
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the middle position. In a small bowl, stir together both mustards and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper; set aside. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the chicken skin side down and cook without disturbing until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Using tongs, transfer the chicken skin up to a plate, then spread ¼ cup of the mustard mixture evenly onto the skin sides. Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat in the skillet and return the pan to medium. Add the shallots, garlic and flour, then cook, stirring often, until the mixture is light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil over medium-high, scraping up any browned bits. Return the chicken pieces skin side up to the skillet and pour in the accumulated juices. Place the pan in the oven and cook until the thickest part of the thigh reaches about 175°F, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken skin side up to a platter. Set the skillet over medium-high (the handle will be hot) and bring the cooking liquid to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened and a spoon drawn through the sauce leaves a trail, 5 to 8 minutes. Off heat, stir in the remaining mustard mixture, the yogurt and tarragon. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then spoon the sauce around the chicken.

Chicken, fresh tarragon, cream and white wine are no strangers to a French kitchen - and they all come together wonderfully in this classic French-bistro fare. This creamy French Chicken Tarragon, known as "Poulet à l'Estragon", is a simple one-pan recipe that's both comforting and fresh tasting. Chicken thighs are first browned and braised in white wine for tenderness. Cream is then added for extra richness.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 1

6 chicken thighs, skin-on2 tsp salt1 tsp freshly ground black pepper2 tbsp (28g) butter (unsalted)1 medium onion (or 2 shallots), peeled and sliced2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced1 cup (250ml) chicken stock½ cup (125ml) dry white wine2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped (+ extra for garnish) ½ cup (120g) heavy creamMore salt, pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make sure you read the cooking notes before you start.
  • Step 1 - Two hours prior to cooking, rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat-dry thoroughly with paper towel. Season each piece with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside, at room temperature.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 375F (190C) with a rack in the middle.
  • Step 2 - Heat up a large oven-safe frying pan (or skillet) over medium heat with the butter. When the butter is sizzling, place the chicken thighs in, skin-side down. Cook for about 10 minutes, without touching, until the chicken skin is golden brown and the chicken is ¾ done; just firm. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for 10 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil. Keep the pan hot and do not rinse it (keep the chicken drippings in).
  • Step 3 - Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly caramelized. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pan, on top of the onion. Sprinkle with the chopped tarragon. Pour the chicken stock and white wine into the pan. Bring to a simmer and transfer the pan into the oven for 30 minutes (covered).
  • Step 4 - Take the pan out of the oven, back onto the stove top at medium heat. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil again. Stir the cream into the pan. Bring to a simmer and keep stirring until the sauce thickens (this could take 7-8 minutes). Place the chicken thighs back into the pan and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • For serving, sprinkle chicken pieces with fresh tarragon leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs work best. They're flavorful and juicy, and the skin crisps up nicely in the braising liquid.
  • Brown the chicken well. This step helps to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the chicken in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam.
  • Use a good quality mustard. The mustard is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a mustard that has a sharp, tangy flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the tarragon. Tarragon is a herb that pairs perfectly with chicken and mustard. Be sure to use fresh tarragon for the best flavor.
  • Let the chicken braise for at least 30 minutes. This will give the chicken time to absorb the flavors of the braising liquid and become tender.

Conclusion:

Mustard braised chicken with tarragon is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the mustard-tarragon sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve it over mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
