Provided by SaffronMeSilly

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 8 chicken breasts, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 ounces whole butter
4 ounces white wine
1 pint chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon dried tarragon or 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon
1 ounce flour
4 ounces heavy cream
fresh tarragon sprig (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Trim any rib meat and fat from the breasts. Cut breasts into 2 pieces, removing strip of cartilage that joins halves.
  • Select a pan that will just hold the breasts when they are placed close together.
  • Season both sides of chicken breasts with salt and white pepper, arrange them presentation side up.
  • Add wine, chicken stock, bay leaf, thyme, and dried tarragon.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the pan you are using, rub butter on it. Place it butter side down on top of chicken mixture.
  • Bring liquid to a simmer and reduce the temperature to just below simmering (this is poaching temperature).
  • Allow chicken to cook through (about 7 minutes or until no longer pink in the middle). Remove chicken from pan.
  • Turn temperature up until remaining liquid is boiling. Allow to reduce for a minute or two.
  • Meanwhile mix 1 oz of butter and 1 oz of flour into a paste (this is called beurre manie).
  • Once the liquid in the pan has reduced a little, whisk in the beurre manie, and bring back to a boil.
  • Once liquid has thickened, add cream, and continue whisking until desired thickness.
  • Strain liquid through cheese cloth, and serve over chicken breasts, with a sprig of tarragon.

Classic Poached Chicken in Cream Sauce (Poule au Pot) image

Provided by Frederic Van Coppernolle

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 carrots, peeled and halved
4 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thoroughly rinsed
1 3 1/2 -pound chicken, left whole
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 small onions (about 2 inches in diameter), peeled
4 small turnips (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter), peeled and halved
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 bouquet garni (sprig of thyme, sprig of parsley, 1 bay leaf and 5 peppercorns tied in cheesecloth)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1 lemon
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
1/4 cup sliced chives

Steps:

  • Spread the carrots and leeks across the bottom of a large soup pot. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste and add to the pot. Add the onions, turnips, garlic and bouquet garni. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partly covered, until a leg pulls easily away from the body, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and remove the skin. Detach the legs and wings and separate the drumsticks from the thighs. Remove the breast, discard the bones and slice the meat thinly. Cover and keep warm.
  • Transfer all the vegetables in the pot to a bowl; cover and keep warm. Discard the bouquet garni. Return the pot to high heat and boil until the broth is reduced by half. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then whisk in the flour; do not allow to brown. Gradually whisk in 1 cups of the broth, allowing the mixture to thicken. Whisk in the cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, place a bed of rice or noodles in a large, deep serving dish. Top with the vegetables and then the chicken. Spoon the sauce over the top and garnish with chives. Serve immediately.
