CHICKEN GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Melt 25g (1oz) of the butter in a large pan and gently fry the onion and chicken for 10min until onion is softened. Stir in the peas, and then empty mixture into a sieve set over a bowl to drain excess moisture.
• Set aside 1tsp of the remaining butter, and then add the rest to the empty pan and melt over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 30sec. Take pan off heat and gradually mix in the milk until smooth. Return pan to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened and smooth - about 5min.

PASTA AND CHICKEN GRATIN

Steps:

• Poach chicken and make stock:
• Cut backbones, wing tips, and second joints of wings from chickens, then cut each chicken into quarters. Put backbones, wing tips, second joints, and giblets (except livers) in a 6- to 8-quart pot with water, celery, carrot, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and peppercorns and bring to a boil. Add chicken quarters and return liquid to a boil, skimming off any foam, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 40 minutes.
• Transfer chicken quarters with tongs to a shallow baking pan. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from skin and bones, transferring meat to a cutting board and returning skin and bones to pot. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and reserve in a large bowl. Boil stock 40 minutes, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Let stand 5 minutes, then skim off fat and set aside 4 cups stock for making sauce. (Reserve remaining stock for another use.)
• Make sauce, cook pasta, and assemble casserole:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Butter gratin dishes.
• Heat butter (1 stick) in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until foam subsides, then add garlic and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Add flour and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Add milk and reserved stock (4 cups) in a slow stream, whisking, then bring to a boil, whisking. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crème fraîche, salt, pepper, cayenne, 2 cups Gruyère, and 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• While sauce simmers, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until not quite al dente, 8 to 10 minutes (pasta should still be firm), then drain in a colander. Return pasta to pot, then add chicken and sauce, tossing to coat. Divide pasta mixture between gratin dishes.
• Toss bread crumbs with remaining 4 cups Gruyère and 3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, then sprinkle evenly over pasta mixture. Bake gratins until crumbs are golden brown and sauce is bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil chicken in a pot of water for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through. Chicken will no longer be pink inside, and juices will run clear when done. Remove chicken from pot and place on cutting board until cool to touch.
• 2. In a hot skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Set skillet aside to reserve bacon grease. When bacon is cooled slightly, chop it into small bits. Set aside.
• 3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat until melted. Add 1/2 of the garlic and all the chopped onion. Stir well to coat with butter and bacon grease, and cook on low until onions are soft (10 to 15 minutes). Season mixture with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 of the chopped chives. (Keep the remaining chives to use as garnish later.)
• 4. When chicken has cooled enough to handle, slice into pieces and pull apart (shredding) by hand. Set aside.
• 5. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, heavy cream, 1/2 cup of parmesan, the cooked garlic, onion and chive mixture, and the remaining uncooked garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and stir ingredients to mix and coat the potatoes.
• 6. Begin placing potato slices into the dish by hand, overlapping them shingle-style against each other. (Reserve the cream left in the bowl.) When first potato layer is in place, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan, then place the shredded chicken over the potatoes to form the next layer.
• 7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon bits evenly over the shredded chicken, and layer 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese over the chicken and bacon.
• 8. Repeat the next layer with potato slices, continuing to overlap them against each other shingle-style. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan. Continue to layer all remaining potatoes and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Top the final layer with any remaining Gruyere.
• 9. From the bowl, pour the cream and its ingredients over all ingredients in the baking dish, making sure to coat all layers evenly. Cover dish with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining chopped chives.
