Chicken Breasts In Chardonnay Sauce Food

CHARDONNAY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Mix flour, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small shallow pan. Place egg white in a second small shallow pan and beat lightly.
• Dip each chicken breast in the egg white and then dredge in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess and place on a plate.
• Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts in skillet, cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn breasts and cook for two more minutes. Remove pan from heat and place in pre-heated oven. Cook for 8-10 minutes until chicken is done.
• Remove chicken from pan, cover and keep warm.
• Return the pan to medium-low heat. Add the chardonnay and deglaze by scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, remaining pepper, thyme and mushrooms. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in crème fraîche.
• Place the chicken on warm plates. Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WHITE WINE-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them on both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper.
• Heat a large oven-proof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet skin-side down and cook, moving them around once or twice to ensure even browning, until the skin is very golden brown, 11 to 12 minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Grasp a wad of paper towels with tongs and mop up excess fat in the bottom of the skillet-this will prevent the grease from spattering all over your oven; carefully discard the paper towel. Repeat several times until there's only a thin film of oil over the bottom of the skillet.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is almost cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the thighs so they are skin side up, then continue roasting until no longer pink near the bone, another 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken thighs to a plate, skin side up. Wipe out the skillet and set aside.
• Meanwhile, start your sauce. Combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon juice and bay leaves in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the mixture is reduced to a wet paste, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cream and continue to simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Reduce the heat to low and remove the bay leaves. Add a few chunks of the butter and whisk constantly until melted, then add a few more chunks and whisk again until melted. Continue adding and whisking the butter, which should melt into a creamy emulsion, until all the butter is incorporated, about 4 minutes. Do not let the sauce go over 130 degrees F or it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from the heat, add 2 ice cubes and whisk until it cools down and comes back together.
• Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Transfer it to the cast iron skillet, nestle the chicken on top and sprinkle the whole dish with chives. Serve immediately.
