Roasted Chicken With Onion Gravy Food

ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan.
• Add the onions and sauté until brown, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the onions and continue to cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
• Gradually add the stock, herbs and Worcestershire sauce and continue to cook until thickened.
• Partially cover and cook for a further 10-15 minutes to allow the flavours to develop, stirring from time to time.

CRISPY CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH GARLIC-ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the cutlets: Begin by pounding out the chicken cutlets. Working with 2 cutlets at a time, place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, gently pound out each piece of chicken to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Work gently from the center outwards so as to keep it even and not tear the chicken. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Set up a breading station. Place the flour in a shallow bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix well. In a second shallow bowl, add the buttermilk, season with salt and pepper and mix well. In a third shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
• Take each cutlet and dredge lightly in the flour. Shake off any excess, and then dip in the buttermilk. Finally, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture. Cover evenly on both sides, gently patting the crumbs into the chicken to help it stick. Place the breaded cutlets in a single layer on a platter and place uncovered in the fridge for 15 minutes - this will help the coating stick to the cutlet and prevent tearing when it comes time to cook them.
• To cook the cutlets, set 2 large nonstick saute pans, cast-iron pans if available, over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to each and cook 2 cutlets in each pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side. When done, they will be golden brown and crispy. Transfer to an ovenproof pan and keep warm in the oven. Try not to keep the chicken in the oven longer than 15 minutes, otherwise it will dry out.
• Now make the gravy: Set a medium saute pan with high sides over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic, onions and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the onions are lightly caramelized and tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine and reduce for 1 minute before adding the chicken broth. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, and then add the cold butter cubes to the sauce. Remove from the heat and swirl the pan to melt the butter evenly - this will thicken the sauce and give it a nice sheen. Serve the chicken schnitzel with the garlic-onion gravy.
• Wine paring: Riesling or sparkling wine.

ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Slice the onions to about ½ inch thick, try to make them the same size so they cook evenly.
• Melt 4 TBS butter in a pot over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cover partially and let them simmer, soften, and reduce for about 25 minutes. Stir every few minutes and reduce heat if they start cooking too quickly.
• Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch and COLD water together until well-combined. Add the seasonings and beef broth and stir to combine. Store in the fridge until ready for use.
• Once the onions are reduced, whisk the cornstarch/broth/seasonings once more, then add them to the pot. (If the cornstarch has settled to the bottom, a silicone spatula can be used to lift it up.)
• Use the liquid to "clean" the bottom of the pot from the onions. This gives the gravy more flavor.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer until desired thickness is obtained.
• Optional: Remove from heat and melt 1 Tablespoon cold butter at the end for a silky, velvety finish. This is a technique that chefs use called "monter au beurre".

ROAST CHICKEN WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the lemon, herbs, and half of the carrots, onions, and celery. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and fold the wing tips under the back. Place the remaining carrots, onion, and celery in the center of a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate the chicken. Brush the entire chicken with the butter; season with salt and pepper. Set the bird breast-side up on top of the vegetables.
• Roast the chicken for 45 minutes. Then increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F., cooking until an instant-read thermometer stuck into the chicken thigh registers 160 degrees F., about 15 minutes more. Tip the chicken so the juices run into the pan. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil while making the gravy.
• Discard the vegetables and pour the fat and juices in the pan into a small bowl. Transfer about 2 tablespoons of the fat back into the pan, skim and discard the rest. Add the roasting juices to the broth. Place the pan directly on the burner over medium-high heat. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the broth and continue to stir. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Pour the sauce into a gravy boat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Carve the chicken and serve with gravy.

CHICKEN BREAST WITH GREEN ONION AND MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. Best suggestion: place one breast at a time into a quart freezer bag, this keeps chicken juice from flying all over your kitchen!
• Cut green onions into 1 inch lengths at the green and thin slices in the white section. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
• Melt the butter in a large, deep-sided fry-pan. Saute the onions and mushrooms until just soft. Using a slotted spoon, remove vegetables and set aside.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper into a pie tin or similar. Rinse the prepared chicken breasts, then cover with flour. Place in the butter in the fry-pan. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes per side. They should be just done--juicy but no pink in the middle. Scoot chicken to side of pan, or remove if necessary.
• Add enough of the remaining flour mixture to soak up the drippings in the pan, and create a loose paste, use a whisk to stir and cook for 1 minute.
• Slowly add the chicken broth (from granules, a can or whatever, is fine!) Stir until well combined; add cream of mushroom soup and stir until well combined; return chicken to the pan. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the gravy starts to thicken. Add a cold water/corn starch mixture if the gravy doesn't thicken. Return the vegatables to the gravy.
• Add the sour cream; cook, stiring constantly, until the sour cream is completely mixed in and warmed.
• Serving suggestion: serve over steamed rice.
