CITY CHICKEN

City Chicken image

My grandfather and grandmother first introduced me to City Chicken during my extended summer visits in the 70's and 80's. They would stop at Risch's Supermarket on Route 356/Pike Road in Sarver Pa., and take me back to a true butcher style meat counter, where you actually knew the butcher and talked to him instead of...

Ingredients

1 lb pork loin, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
1 lb veal, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
1 1/2 c ap flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
2 c chicken broth
1 c dry white wine
1 sprig(s) fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
8 stick 6 inch heavy wooden skewers
canola oil - as needed

Steps:

1. Mix salt, pepper and flour in a bowl. Coat pork and veal cubes with flour mixture. Slide pork and veal, alternating meats onto skewers
2. In a skillet, brown meat evenly on all sides in a small amount of canola oil. Drain off any excess oil and remove skewers to a roasting pan to finish cooking in a 325 degree F preheated oven to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Deglaze the pan with the wine and the chicken broth, thyme and bay leaf. Scrape up any fond and reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until sauce has reduced and is thickened. * Remove bay leaf and sprig of thyme before serving.
3. Serve with sauce underneath the meat and additional sauce on the side.
4. Goes well with baked potatoes, or a simple rice dish with some fresh grilled veggies
5. Cook's Note - If you desire more sauce simply thicken the sauce with a small amount of cornstarch slurry until it reaches desired consistency. This method will not produce as flavorful a sauce but a nice sauce nonetheless

I'm not a big fan of this recipe. The chicken was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I like to add some vegetables to the sauce, such as broccoli and carrots.

I love this recipe! The chicken is so tender and the sauce is so flavorful. I always make a double batch so I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly.

I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit. I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and I always double the sauce recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
