PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND WHOLE GRAIN MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450*F.
• Prepare the chicken by gently easing your fingertips between the skin and the meat at the neck opening, to loosen the skin all over the breast, taking care not to tear the skin.
• Insert the parsley sprig, basil or rosemary under the skin.
• Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof skillet large enough to hold the chicken over high heat.
• Add the olive oil and swirl it in the skillet.
• As soon as you begin to see slight wisps of smoke, carefully place the chicken skin side down in the skillet.
• Sear the chicken, undisturbed, while reducing the heat little by little to medium, until it's skin has turned golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Carefully turn the chicken skin side up.
• Put the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh meat is pierced with a thin skewer, 10 to 15 minutes more, depending on it's size.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet with tongs and transfer it to a cutting board.
• Pour off all but a thin glaze of fat from the skillet.
• Return the skillet to high heat, add the chicken stock and the lemon juice, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.
• Boil the liquid down until it has reduced by half it's volume, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn down the heat and add the mustard, stirring briskly with a wire whisk.
• Add the butter a piece at a time to make a creamy sauce, making sure each piece has been incorporated completely before adding the next.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in half of the parsley or basil.
• To serve, spoon the sauce into the centers of two to four heated plates.
• With a large sharp knife, cut the chicken into two halves or four equal pieces.
• Place the chicken on the plates, sprinkle with the remaining parsley or basil and serve.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PORT AND WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat an ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the chicken over high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl it in the skillet. As soon as you begin to see slight wisps of smoke, carefully place the chicken skin side down in the skillet. Sear the chicken, undisturbed, while reducing the heat little by little to medium, until its skin has turned golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken skin side up.
• Put the skillet into the oven and cook until the chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a skewer, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on its size. When the chicken is done, transfer it to the plate and keep warm.
• Pour off all but a thin layer of fat from the skillet. Add the port, put the skillet over high heat, and reduce until half remains. Add the chicken stock and reduce again. (If using BBQ sauce, you don't have to reduce.) Add the cream, bring it to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the Dijon and Meaux mustards and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with parsley and tarragon.

WHOLE-GRAIN MUSTARD PAN ROLLS

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat milk, butter, and syrup just until warm (about 105°F.) and butter begins to melt and remove pan from heat. Stir in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• In a bowl of a standing electric mixer (or a large bowl if kneading by hand) whisk together flour and salt. In a small bowl lightly beat together whole egg, yolk, and mustard.
• With dough hook stir milk mixture and egg mixture into flour mixture to form a sticky dough. With dough hook knead dough 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic (dough will be soft). (Alternatively, dough may be formed with a wooden spoon and kneaded on a floured surface with floured hands until smooth and elastic, 10 to 15 minutes.)
• Transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat with oil. Let dough rise, covered loosely, in a warm place 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
• Make glaze:
• In a small bowl with a fork stir together butter, syrup, and egg.
• Grease a 13- by 9-inch roasting or baking pan.
• Punch down dough and divide into 20 pieces. Form each piece into a smooth ball and transfer to pan. Brush rolls with about half of glaze and let rise, covered loosely with plastic wrap, in a warm place about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush rolls with remaining glaze and sprinkle with seeds. Bake rolls in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until golden brown, and cool in pan on a rack 20 minutes. Rolls may be made 1 day ahead and kept, covered, in a cool dry place. (Alternatively, rolls may be made 2 weeks ahead and frozen in pan, wrapped well. Thaw rolls at room temperature.) Serve rolls warm or at room temperature.

• Gradually add hot liquid mixture, beating at low speed of an electric mixer 1 minute.
• Add egg,and beat an additional 2 minutes at medium speed.
• Gradually add flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes).
• Shape dough into 24 balls; place in a lightly greased 13x9x2-inch pan.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°F), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
