CHICKEN IN A METAXA CREAM SAUCE



Chicken in a Metaxa Cream Sauce image

Metaxa is a Greek brandy, good chance you won't have it in your drinks cabinet and it's no problem to use another brandy. I have been using Spanish brandy the last few times I made this, but the Metaxa does have a different flavor. If I make this for the two of us I do cut down on the chicken but make the same amount of sauce and serve it with pasta. It is a rich sauce with a distinct flavor. If you should use tarragon as an herb, taste the herb first it can be very strong sometimes and you should use less.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN IN CREAM SAUCE



Pan-Roasted Chicken in Cream Sauce image

This recipe is an adaptation of a dish the chef Angie Mar serves at the Beatrice Inn in Manhattan, the chicken crisped in a pan, then napped in a Madeira-laced cream sauce dotted with morels. Which sounds fancy and hard to make but isn't, really. Brown the chicken, and set it aside to rest. Cook the morels in the remaining fat - you could swap them out for another wild mushroom or even button mushrooms in a pinch - and then flash them with Cognac, which you'll find will come in handy again and again once you start cooking with it. (Try it on steak au poivre!) Then build up a sauce with cream and a little butter and crème fraîche for gloss, get the chicken into it and add some fresh savory and tarragon at the end - or just one of those, or neither. Make the dish as you prefer or as you can. It's luxurious, every time.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 chicken, 4 to 4 1/2 pounds, cut into pieces, or some combination of chicken parts on or off the bone, approximately 3 pounds
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 to 15 morels or other wild mushrooms, approximately 3 1/2 ounces
1/4 cup Cognac
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Madeira wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon crème fraîche or Greek-style yogurt
2 teaspoons finely chopped savory
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, to finish

Steps:

  • Season the chicken parts aggressively with salt. Set a Dutch oven or large, high-sided sauté pan over high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When it is shimmering and about to smoke, turn the heat to medium high, and working in batches, add the chicken to the pan, skin-side down, setting the pieces aside to rest when they are golden and crisp on one side and just kissed by the heat on the other, approximately 30 minutes for all the meat.
  • Discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat in the pan, then return it to medium-high heat and add the mushrooms, tossing to coat them with fat. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms just begin to soften, approximately 3-4 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. Add the Cognac, and carefully ignite it with a match, or simply cook it on very low heat until the alcohol has evaporated and the mushrooms are glossy.
  • Scrape the mushrooms to the sides of the pan, then add to it the chicken pieces, arranged in a single layer if possible. Pour 1 to 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock around the chicken. It should rise about halfway up each piece. Lower heat to medium, allow the mixture to come to a low simmer, then put a lid on the pan and allow the mixture to cook slowly until the meat has cooked through, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Remove the lid from the pan, and transfer the chicken pieces to a platter to rest. Turn the heat to medium high, and allow the chicken stock to reduce by 1/3, then add the heavy cream, and stir to incorporate. Let this mixture simmer for a minute or 2 until it starts to thicken, then add the Madeira, and swirl again to combine.
  • Continue cooking the sauce until it can enrobe the back of a spoon, approximately 2-3 minutes more, then stir in the butter, crème fraîche and chopped savory and stir to combine. Turn the heat off, add the tarragon, stir one more time and then return the chicken pieces to the pan. Spoon some sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Provided by Carolyn Sheppard

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Season chicken breasts with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cook the chicken breasts on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Melt butter with vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in the butter mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir flour through the butter mixture; cook and stir until flour is incorporated, about 1 minute more. Pour heavy cream and chicken broth into the saucepan; stir. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and cream cheese to the saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted into the sauce, about 5 minutes.
  • Plate the chicken breasts. Spoon sauce over the chicken. Serve extra sauce on the side.
