TRUFFLE CHICKEN & POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Carefully pull the skin on the chicken legs away from the flesh, trying not to break the skin, then rub ¼ tbsp butter between the skin and flesh on each leg. Carefully put half of the truffle discs on top of the butter, or smear on some truffle paste and smooth back the skin. Season the skin, then set aside in the fridge.
• Heat the double cream and stock together with the garlic cloves, remaining truffle, bay and sage then, once simmering, set aside to infuse for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter the inside of a shallow baking dish that will fit both chicken legs. Layer the potatoes, adding the truffle slices from the cream between the layers along with some seasoning, then strain over the infused cream and stock mixture. Sprinkle over the parseman and scatter over the remaining sage leaves. Place the chicken legs on top, brush with melted butter, then roast for 1 hr or until the potatoes are cooked and the chicken golden and cooked through. Allow to rest for 10 mins, letting the chicken juices drip into the potatoes, then serve with a watercress salad.

CHICKEN AND POTATO GRATIN WITH BROWN BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Season chicken all over with 4 tsp. salt. Place in an airtight container and cover. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Toss potatoes, shallots, and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
• Melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat (it will continue to darken) and stir in cream, garlic, pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1½ tsp. salt. Set saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until salt is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in thyme and sage; remove from heat.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in a large stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until melted and bubbling. Working in 2 batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a 13x9" or 3-qt. baking dish and arrange skin side up. Set skillet with pan drippings aside. Nestle potatoes and shallots around chicken (don't place on top). Pour brown butter cream over chicken and vegetables, making sure herbs and spices are evenly dispersed and tucking herbs into vegetables so they don't get too crispy when they bake.

CHICKEN POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil chicken in a pot of water for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through. Chicken will no longer be pink inside, and juices will run clear when done. Remove chicken from pot and place on cutting board until cool to touch.
• 2. In a hot skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Set skillet aside to reserve bacon grease. When bacon is cooled slightly, chop it into small bits. Set aside.
• 3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat until melted. Add 1/2 of the garlic and all the chopped onion. Stir well to coat with butter and bacon grease, and cook on low until onions are soft (10 to 15 minutes). Season mixture with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 of the chopped chives. (Keep the remaining chives to use as garnish later.)
• 4. When chicken has cooled enough to handle, slice into pieces and pull apart (shredding) by hand. Set aside.
• 5. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, heavy cream, 1/2 cup of parmesan, the cooked garlic, onion and chive mixture, and the remaining uncooked garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and stir ingredients to mix and coat the potatoes.
• 6. Begin placing potato slices into the dish by hand, overlapping them shingle-style against each other. (Reserve the cream left in the bowl.) When first potato layer is in place, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan, then place the shredded chicken over the potatoes to form the next layer.
• 7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon bits evenly over the shredded chicken, and layer 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese over the chicken and bacon.
• 8. Repeat the next layer with potato slices, continuing to overlap them against each other shingle-style. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan. Continue to layer all remaining potatoes and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Top the final layer with any remaining Gruyere.
• 9. From the bowl, pour the cream and its ingredients over all ingredients in the baking dish, making sure to coat all layers evenly. Cover dish with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining chopped chives.

CHINESE FIVE-SPICE CHICKEN WITH RED CABBAGE AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Gratin:
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the first 6 ingredients together in a bowl, making sure the potato slices are evenly covered with the mixture. Spray 2 ramekins with cooking spray and gently press a handful of the potatoes into each one. Arrange the ramekins on a sheet pan and fill each cup 3/4 of the way with the cream mixture and cover the top with foil. Slide the pan into the oven and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes.* Remove the foil, add 2 tablespoons of the remaining cheese to each ramekin and cook until cheese is bubbling, about 4 to 8 minutes. Remove the gratins from oven and set aside.
• Cabbage: In a medium skillet, over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate, leaving 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fat in the skillet. Add the onions and saute for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir in the cabbage, sugar, salt and black pepper and continue cooking for an additional 6 to 8 minutes. Add the red wine, toss the ingredients and cook covered with a lid until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, about 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook until it has almost evaporated as well, about 1 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the reserved bacon.
• Chicken: Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken breasts, toss to coat with the marinade and allow them to sit for 10 to15 minutes. In a saute pan over medium heat, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the show side and 6 minutes the other side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and top each breast with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cover with foil, allow them to rest for 5 minutes, then slice lengthwise.
• To serve: Put a portion of the cabbage in the center of each dish. Arrange the chicken, on top of the cabbage. Run a knife along the inside of each ramekin, to loosen, and invert them onto the plates before serving.
