FOIL PACK POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Divide potatoes between 2 large sheets of foil, then lift edges of foil around potatoes to form a nest so the oil won't leak. Divide garlic, rosemary, and oil between packages, then sprinkle each with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bring edges of foil together to enclose each package, covering completely, then crimp to seal packages closed.
• Prepare a grill for medium, indirect heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Place foil packages near the coals and cook, moving packages around the coals occasionally for even cooking, until potatoes are tender, 30-45 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Packets can cooked and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Editor's note: As a part of our archive repair project, this recipe has been updated to remove an outdated and offensive term for foil pack.

CHICKEN DIANE WITH CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the ghee and toss to coat. Liberally sprinkle with flaky sea salt then arrange all the potatoes cut-side down. Roast in the oven until golden brown, crispy and easily pierced with a paring knife, 18 to 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes roast, prepare the chicken: Liberally season both sides of the breasts with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining ghee followed by the chicken. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this point.) Remove to a shallow bowl or plate.
• Next, add the remaining 1 tablespoon ghee followed by the shallot and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes, then season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and add the cognac or brandy. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a match and place back on the heat. Cook until the flame subsides, 10 to 15 seconds.
• Add the stock, cream, Dijon and Worcestershire sauce. Stir together and taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, divide the potatoes between 2 shallow bowls or plates followed by the mushroom sauce and chicken. Sprinkle with the chives, parsley and more pepper.
