Sauteed Chicken With Mushrooms And Garlic Puree Food

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Split breast: Cut each breast in half horizontally to form 4 thin steaks in total.
• Dust with flour: Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour and use your fingers to spread it all over the surface.
• Cook chicken: Melt 15g butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 2 1/2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove from pan, cover and keep warm.
• Cook mushrooms: In the same frying pan, add remaining butter and increase heat to high. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes, until starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
• Add garlic later: Then add garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, and continue cooking for another minute until both garlic and mushrooms are golden.
• Deglaze skillet: Add white wine - it will bubble and be steamy! Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the bottom of the pan, until wine is mostly evaporated and the alcohol smell is gone.
• Make creamy sauce: Add chicken stock, cook vigorously for 1 minute so it mostly evaporates. Then add cream, lower heat to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly.
• Add parmesan: Stir in parmesan, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Finish chicken in sauce: Return chicken to sauce for 30 seconds (to warm through slightly.) Garnish with chives and serve as-is in the pan, for people to help themselves (or transfer to serving platter, if you prefer). Alternatively, serve a portion of chicken onto each plate, spoon sauce over and garnish with more chives.
• Sides: Ideal served with mashed potato or rice - something to soak in that amazing sauce! See Note 5 for suggestions.

GRILLED CHICKEN CHOPS WITH GARLIC PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
• Add the onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the roasted garlic paste and potato. Mix well. Cook for 2 minutes, then add a splash of white wine and 2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Cook until potato is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Once tender, add the cream and lemon juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Once cooled add the mixture to a blender. Add a bunch of chives, remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and 2 tablespoons chicken stock. Pulse until pureed and smooth.
• Season the chicken chops with salt and pepper, to taste, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Put the chops on the hot grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops from the grill to sheet pan and bake in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and arrange the chops on a serving platter. Serve with roasted garlic and chive puree.

SAUTEED GARLIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, garlic and bread crumbs in butter until mushrooms are tender.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH WILD MUSHROOMS & GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix together the garlic, butter, lemon zest and juice, and half the thyme. Season well.
• Gently separate the skin from the chicken breast by easing your fingers between the two, then push as much butter mixture under the skin as possible. Rub whatever is left into the creases between the thighs and the breast.
• Heat the oil in a large casserole dish that will fit the chicken. Add the onions, mushrooms and bay leaves, cook over a medium heat for a few mins.
• Rub the chicken with the remaining thyme leaves and some salt and pepper. Pour the wine and 20ml warm water into the cavity of the chicken and place in the dish. Cook in the oven for 1 hr 40 mins; it will brown and steam at the same time and the juices will rehydrate the mushrooms.
• Remove from the oven and drain any liquid from inside the chicken back into the dish. Place the chicken on a board to rest. Meanwhile, bring the juices to the boil, season to taste and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve the chicken with the mushrooms, onions and pan juices.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS IN GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic; cook and stir until the mushrooms are a light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the basil.
• Reduce heat to low, and pour the wine into the skillet. Simmer until most of the wine has evaporated. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SAUTE

Steps:

• Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour onto a sheet of wax paper. In a nonstick skillet, combine the vegetable oil and butter or margarine and heat over medium high heat until bubbly and hot. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on both sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
• To the same skillet, add the mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes. Combine the water, broth mix, cornstarch, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Return chicken to the skillet and cook until chicken is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND GARLIC PUREE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge them in the flour, and pat to make the flour adhere.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. When it is hot, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook, uncovered, turning occasionally to brown well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Drain off the fat.
• Add the mushrooms, garlic and onion, and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes over high heat. Add the wine, tomatoes, chicken broth, parsley sprigs, bay leaf and thyme, and stir to dissolve the brown particles clinging to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, and add salt and pepper if needed. Cover tightly, and cook for 20 minutes.
• With a slotted spoon, remove the garlic cloves, and squeeze out the flesh by placing them in a sieve and pushing the pulp through with a pestle or rubber spatula.
• Add the pureed garlic to the skillet, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, and serve with chopped basil or parsley.
