Chicken Breasts With White Wine Sauce And White Rice Food

WILLIAMS-SONOMA CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WHITE WINE DIJON SAUCE

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.

CHICKEN MEDALLIONS IN WHITE WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Combine the salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a zip closure bag.
• Very lightly oil the chicken with olive oil.
• Sprinkle the mixture liberally over all sides of the chicken and press into the meat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium high heat.
• Sear the chicken for a minute or so on all sides, sprinkle with Tarragon.
• Add ¼ cup of chicken broth to the skillet (to prevent smoking in the oven and keep meat moist).
• Transfer skillet to preheated oven and roast chicken for about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove skillet from oven; transfer chicken to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and allow meat to rest. You can prepare up to this point and hold the meat under the foil for 35- 45 minutes if needed.
• Do not wash skillet or discard the roasting juices and bits. With skillet still hot, add the chopped onion and cook for a minute or so. Add ½ cup chicken broth to the skillet, scraping all the caramelized juices and bits with a spoon.
• Add the wine and bring to a boil to reduce the volume of the sauce by about half.
• If holding the final preparation, stop at this point, cover skillet, and turn heat off.
• Just before serving, slice the chicken into ¾" to 1" medallions.
• Return skillet to medium high heat, add about 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the sauce and allow it to melt, taste and if needed adjust with a pinch or salt or pepper.
• Return the medallions to the hot pan and gently warm them in the sauce until completely cooked.
• Remove the medallions to warmed platter or serving plate, pour sauce over them, and serve.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE IN A WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauté ½ the garlic in 2-3 tablespoons butter (this amount is a guess...but be generous with it) in a frying pan until softened (do NOT brown it!). Add spinach and cook, stirring frequently until spinach is softened and quite shrunken. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Pound breasts flat (the thinner the better). and lightly salt them. Roll spinach/garlic mixture up in the breasts then lightly coat them in crumbs. Place seam side down in a deep baking dish. Bake uncovered in a 300 degree oven while you make the sauce.
• Sauce:Melt a lot of butter (once again... be generous and use more than you think you should) in the same frying pan the spinach was sautéed inches Add the remaining garlic and sauté...(do NOT brown it!). Whisk in sufficient flour to make a thick roux...do NOT brown the roux! Whisk in the wine and bring to boil whisking constantly. After the alcohol has had a chance to evaporate and as the sauce thickens, add sugar to taste but the sauce should remain slightly bitter as it will lose this bitterness in the oven. Once thickened, pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
• Bake the whole thing, uncovered in a 350 degree oven until you want to eat. 1 hour is usually plenty but this meal is designed to be prepared at your convenience and lowering the temperature and allowing it to sit will not hurt it.
• Presentation: I recommend removing the breasts from the sauce onto a cutting board to cool slightly (if cut while too hot they will disintegrate -- I found this out the hard way). Then, slice them into about 1 cm slices so that each slice is a little circle of chicken surrounding the spinach. Press white rice into a small bowl and invert it in the centre of the plate, remove the bowl so a uniform hemispheric mound of rice remains. Arrange the chicken slices in a circle around the rice. Drizzle some sauce over the chicken and rice. Serve remaining sauce in a gravy boat or small pitcher. Remember to keep the sauce warm and don't dilly-dally while cutting -- get it to to the table hot!
