CHICKEN PONTALBA
Chicken Pontalba is typical of the signature dishes served at old-line New Orleans Creole restaurants. This dish was created in New Orleans by Chef Paul Blange in the early days of Brennan's in the French Quarter in the early 1950s and was a well-established local favorite when we re-opened Delmonico. The recipe is very similar to Chicken Clemenceau, but without the inclusion of green peas. The name Pontalba denotes richness, as the dish is named for Baroness Micaela Almonester de Pontalba, a wealthy Parisian who in 1850 built the opulent Pontalba buildings that still flank Jackson Square in the historic French Quarter. Considered the oldest apartments in the country, the buildings continue to house elegant residences upstairs and fine retail shops downstairs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the chicken into 6 pieces, 2 breasts, 2 thighs, and 2 legs, and remove the bones from the breasts. Season the chicken pieces on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, 4 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the second side. Place 2 tablespoons of butter on the chicken and transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ham, mushrooms, green onions, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give off their liquid and start to turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the mixture is thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the Brabant Potatoes and parsley, tossing gently to mix, and cook until the potatoes are warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- To serve, place equal amounts of the vegetable mixture in the center of 4 large plates and top with the chicken. Spoon the Bearnaise Sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
- Combine the white wine, vermouth, red wine vinegar, shallots, tarragon sprigs, and peppercorns in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 4 teaspoons. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and let cool.
- Whisk the egg yolks in the top of a double boiler (or in a medium bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water) until thick and pale yellow. Remove the double boiler (or bowl and saucepan) from the heat and gradually add the butter, whisking constantly to thicken. Add enough tepid water to thin to pouring consistency. Add 4 teaspoons of the wine reduction, the chopped tarragon, the salt, and hot sauce, and whisk well to blend. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve immediately, or cover and keep warm for up to 10 minutes, whisking occasionally to keep from separating.
CHICKEN PONTALBA
Cooked chicken breasts, drizzled with Bearnaise sauce.. served on a bed of deep fried potatoes , diced ham, mushrooms, onion, garlic and white wine...... I got this off the internet YEARS ago. I've only made it once!! I lost the recipe and it took me forever to find it again! I remember feeling slightly overwhelmed while making this(feeling like I had so much to do at once) but the end result was worth it!! ** I used packaged Bearnaise Sauce** **The only tips I can think of is I would start this recipe by making the Bearnaise sauce so it's done and deep frying the potatoes so they're done. ** Also, as you can see by the picture , smaller pieces of chicken are just fine too!

Steps:
- 1. WASH CUT UP CHICKEN. IN A PLASTIC BAG (WITH ZIP LOCK) COMBINE 1 1/2 CUPS FLOUR; SEASON FLOUR WITH SALT AND PEPPER. PLACE CHICKEN IN THE PLASTIC BAG WITH THE FLOUR, SALT, AND PEPPER ONE PIECE AT A TIME. SHAKE CHICKEN IN SEALED PLASTIC BAG. REPEAT UNTIL ALL PIECES ARE COATED.
- 2. IN A LARGE DEEP FRY PAN, MELT BUTTER AND OIL ON MEDIUM HEAT; ADD CHICKEN, COOK UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN. PLACE PIECES OF BROWNED CHICKEN IN A 13" X 9" BAKING PAN. WHEN ALL THE PIECES OF CHICKEN ARE IN THE BAKING PAN, PUT THE SLICED ONIONS IN THE FRY PAN AND COOK UNTIL TRANSLUCENT; ADD THE SLICE GARLIC AND COOK UNTIL TENDER AND FRAGRANT. YOU MAY NEED TO ADD MORE BUTTER AND OIL IN THE PAN-IF NEEDED. ADD 2 CUPS OF WATER TO THE ONION AND GARLIC MIXTURE. LET THAT COOK FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN POUR OVER THE CHICKEN IN THE BAKING PAN. COVER WITH FOIL AND BAKE AT 375 DEGREES UNTIL CHICKEN IS FALLING OFF THE BONE. COOKING TIME IS ABOUT 1 HOUR. YOU CAN MAKE A GRAVY WITH THE DRIPPINGS. MIX FLOUR AND WATER TOGETHER TO MAKE A PASTE AND ADD IT TO THE DRIPPINGS. IF IT'S TOO THICK ADD MORE WATER. KEEP WHISKING UNTIL HEATED AND SMOOTH. TASTE THE GRAVY TO SEE IF YOU NEED TO SEASON WITH SALT & PEPPER.
- 3. MASHED POTATOES AND PUT ROASTED GARLIC IN WITH MILK AND BUTTER. CONTINUE MASHING THE POTATOES.
- 4. TO ROAST GARLIC, PUT A HEAD OF GARLIC IN A PIECE OF FOIL. TOP THE GARLIC WITH ITALIAN SEASONING, SALT, BLACK PEPPER AND OLIVE OIL. CLOSE THE FOIL TIGHTLY. BAKE IN A 350 DEGREE OVEN FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. REMOVE FROM FOIL WHEN COOLED. SQUEEZE THE GARLIC OUT OF EACH CASING TO PUT IN THE MASHED POTATOES. YOU WILL NEED ABOUT 4 CLOVES OF GARLIC. OMIT THE GARLIC IF YOU JUST WANT TO SERVE REGULAR MASHED POTATOES. REFRIGERATE ANY LEFTOVER GARLIC. NOODLES WOULD ALSO BE GOOD SERVED WITH THIS CHICKEN.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 2-quart glass rectangular baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. In a large saute pan, over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onions, bell peppers, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne. Season generously with black pepper and saute until the onions are soft and start to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the sausage and continue to cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and corn and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs for 30 seconds. Add the heavy cream, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk the mixture until fully incorporated. Stir in the sauteed sausage mixture. Add the bread cubes and mix well. Pour the filling into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the grated cheese. Bake until golden brown and set, about 55 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the Essence and 1/2 cup of the oil. Mix well. Smear the mixture evenly over each chicken half. Heat 2 large oven-safe saute pans over medium high-heat. When the pans are hot, add enough oil to coat the bottom of each pan. Place 2 chicken halves in each pan, skin side down, and sear until deep golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the chickens over and place in the oven. Roast until juices run clear, about 25 to 30 more minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- To serve, spoon the pudding in the center of 4 plates. Place the greens next to the pudding. Lay a chicken half directly on top of the pudding.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- In a large, deep pot over medium-high heat, saute the bacon until slightly crisp. Add the onions and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, to taste. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, until the onions are wilted and golden. Add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the water and vinegar and mix well. Begin adding the greens, 1/3 at a time, pressing them down as they begin to wilt. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until the greens are tender and soft, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve hot.
