Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch rounds
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds
8 bone-in chicken thighs (about 4 pounds)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 pound medium asparagus, trimmed, cut crosswise in half and on the bias
2 cups shelled fresh peas (from about 2 pounds pods) or frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, divided
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped dill

Steps:

  • If you see or feel dirt in the leeks, rinse well, separating layers, then pat dry; otherwise, leave rounds intact.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add leeks in a single layer; season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, turning once, until leeks are lightly golden, 16-18 minutes. Transfer leeks to a plate; reserve skillet.
  • Lightly crush fennel seeds with the bottom of a heavy skillet or pot. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with fennel, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a 5-7-qt. Dutch oven or large wide saucepan over medium-high. Cook thighs, skin side down, until well-browned, 12-14 minutes. Transfer skin side up to a plate. Pour off and discard fat.
  • Add wine to pot, bring to a simmer, and cook, scraping up bits from bottom of pot, 1 minute. Add broth and return chicken skin side up to pot. Lower heat to medium-low, cover pot, and cook until chicken is cooked through, 15-18 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine asparagus, peas, and 2 Tbsp. water in reserved skillet, cover, and cook over medium heat until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 tsp. lemon zest, remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper; stir gently to just combine.
  • Divide chicken, asparagus mixture, and reserved leeks among large shallow bowls. Bring broth to a simmer, add lemon juice, then ladle into bowls. Top with dill and remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon zest.

ASPARAGUS CHICKEN FRICASSEE



Asparagus Chicken Fricassee image

"Since we can hardly wait for asparagus to appear in the spring, this recipe is a real family favorite," confides Lois Crissman of Mansfield, Ohio. "If you get too impatient waiting for garden-fresh spears, you can substitute canned or frozen instead, which will also lessen the cooking time."

SPRING CHICKEN FRICASSEE WITH PEAS



Spring Chicken Fricassee With Peas image

This is a recipe from a Pillsbury grocery check-out cookbook. I found it to be an easy, lower fat recipe using things I usually have on hand. The tarragon gives this a nice flavor. Be sure not to over-cook the chicken or it will get tough.

Provided by Pam-I-Am

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup sweet onion, chopped
3/4 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups frozen peas
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Turn oven on 250-300 to warm.
  • Cut each large chicken breasts so they are smaller portions. I do this at an angle so they are still not too thick. Season with salt and ground pepper.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan on medium high setting. (I prefer to use my stainless steel pan instead of non-stick). Place chicken pieces in pan and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned on each side. Remove from pan and place in a casserole dish in the oven to keep warm.
  • In same pan, add the onions and sautee for a few minutes on medium heat, add chicken broth to de-glaze the pan.
  • In a measuring cup, pour in the evaporated milk and then add the 3 tbs flour. Mix well.
  • Turn the heat down to low and add milk/flour to the pan and stir with broth and onions until thickened.
  • Add tarragon and frozen peas. Stir until warmed through, about 5 minutes and turn off the heat.
  • Open the oven and remove the casserole dish (be carful, it's hot). Pour the pea mixture over the chicken and serve.
  • Serve with rice or potatoes.

SPRING CHICKEN FRICASSEE



Spring Chicken Fricassee image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 poussin, about 12 to 14 ounces each, butterflied through the back bone
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon whole, unsalted butter
1/2 cup purple pearl onions, blanched and peeled
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 1/2 cups hot chicken stock
2 bay leaves
3 star anise
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon cardamom seed
1/4 pound fresh morels, cleaned well, quartered
1/2 cup fresh new peas
1/2 pound pencil asparagus, woody stem removed
4 ounces creme fraiche
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Season the poussin with a generous sprinkling of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil together with the butter in a saute pan with straight sides (sauteuse) over medium heat. Add the poussin, without crowding, to the saute pan skin side down and cook slowly to brown the chickens to a golden brown color. Turn the chickens to brown the other side, add the pearl onions to caramelize with the chicken, and place a lid on the pan. Allow the chicken and onions to simmer together for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the dry sherry to the saute pan and cook down to reduce the liquid until almost evaporated.
  • Add the hot stock together with the spices tied in cheesecloth into an herb bouquet garni.
  • Let this simmer slowly over low heat for 30 to 35 minutes. After 20 minutes has gone by add the morels to the pan and continue to simmer all together for the remaining 15 minutes cooking time.
  • Remove the chicken carefully from the pan, add the peas and asparagus to the stock and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the creme fraiche and cook together for 2 more minutes before spooning the vegetables around the chicken and pouring the excess sauce into a sauceboat. Sprinkle chopped chives over everything and serve.

4 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 chicken breasts, split in half and skinned
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 cup white wine
4 sprigs fresh thyme

Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of butter in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan. Lower the heat to medium, place 1 teaspoon of butter and the shallots in the pan and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
