SONOMA CHICKEN SALAD



Sonoma Chicken Salad image

After having the Sonoma Chicken Salad at Costco I was on a search to find a recipe to duplicate the taste. I found a good recipe on Wholefoods.com and tweaked it a bit. Of course, it's not exactly the same but I think it is very close. My sister says it reminds her of thanksgiving.

A simple and quick chicken saute--a restaurant quality chicken dinner ready on your table in just 30 minutes! The key to this recipe's success comes in flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking them. They will cook evenly and stay perfectly moist throughout. Fabulous served with peas or asparagus spears, along with pan-fried or mashed potatoes. Recipe is a seriously adapted one, originally from Williams-Sonoma.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5-6 oz. each)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped shallots or 1/4 cup onion
2 -3 tablespoons dijon-style mustard, to taste
1/2 cup heavy double cream
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, to serve

Steps:

  • Trim any fat from the chicken breasts. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
  • One at a time, place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and, using a rolling in, roll across the thickest part of the breast to flatten to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch (12 mm).
  • In a large, preferably nonstick saute pan or frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the oil. When foaming, add the chicken breasts and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Saute, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the breasts from releasing their juices, until golden and just tender, about 5 minutes on each side. Tip: To test for doneness, insert the tip of a sharp knife into the center of each breast; the juices should run clear and the meat should no longer be pink at the center.
  • Transfer to a warmed plate and keep warm.
  • Pour off any excess fat from the pan and return the pan to medium-low heat. Add the shallots and saute, stirring, until translucent, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the mustard, cream, and white wine, raise the heat to medium and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan bottom. Cook, stirring, until thickened and blended, 2-3 minutes.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and turn the breasts over several times to coat them well with the sauce and to heat them through.
  • Transfer to a warmed platter or individual dishes and spoon the sauce over the breasts.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve at once.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 -4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices, and separated into rings
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut it crosswise into 8 equal pieces. With the cut side up, use the palm of your hand to flatten each piece to slightly less than 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with some of the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and set aside.
  • Coat a large nonstick skillet with the olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
  • Add the onion rings, mushrooms, and 1 tablespoon of the broth to the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, for a couple of minutes or until the onions and mushrooms start to brown and begin to soften. Add a little more broth if the skillet becomes too dry, but only enough to prevent scorching.
  • Add the remaining broth, wine, and tomatoes to the skillet mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 3 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for several minutes or until about 1/4-1/3 cup of liquid remains in the skillet.
  • To serve, place some of the chicken on each of 4 serving plates. Top each serving with some of the vegetable mixture, pan juices, and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve hot.

WILLIAMS-SONOMA CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE STRACCIATELLA

Provided by carrie sheridan

Categories     Stocks

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups chicken stock or 5 cups prepared broth
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, peeled and julienned
1 stalk celery, julienned
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 lb spinach leaves, washed well
2 eggs, lightly beaten
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breasts into 1/2 inch thick slices.
  • In a saucepan, combine the stock and garlic and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the carrot and celery, cover, and cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the parmesan, 2 TBS of the parsley, the chicken and the spinach.
  • Return to a simmer and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, the spinach is wilted but still bright green and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Pour the eggs into the soup and stir back and forth with a fork until white threads of cooked egg appear.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into warmed bowls and garnish with the remaining 2 TBS of parsley.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful cut of chicken. Sonoma Chicken uses bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, which are known for their rich flavor and juicy texture. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, but they may be a bit drier.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try one of the more complex marinades in the recipe.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. You can cook the chicken on a grill, in a smoker, or in your oven.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sonoma Chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, Sonoma Chicken is a recipe that you will turn to time and time again.
