CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small saucepan or the bottom of a double boiler, bring about 1 inch of water to a simmer (do not boil).
• In the top of a double boiler or a stainless steel bowl which will fit on a small saucepan, whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and water.
• Place the bowl or pan over the simmering water, making sure the bottom does not come in contact with the water. Whisk constantly for a minute or two, or until the egg mixture is warm and begins to thicken.
• Slowly whisk the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture. Cook over the simmering-not boiling-water, whisking constantly, until the sauce mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in salt to taste and cayenne pepper. Cover and move to the preheated oven or a very low burner to keep warm.
• In a large skillet over high heat, combine chicken, onion, salt, thyme, pepper, and water to cover. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender. The minimum safe temperature for chicken is 160 F.
• Alternatively, season the chicken breasts with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and saute in a large skillet in 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness.
• Meanwhile, prepare rice following the package directions, along with a steamed vegetable side dish or tossed salad .
• Divide the rice among six plates.
• Top each mound of rice with a chicken breast.
• Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the warm Hollandaise sauce over each chicken breast and add a steamed vegetable or salad, as desired.
• If desired, sprinkle paprika over the sauce.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Put yolks into a small container into which you can fit an immersion blender, or into the jar of a blender.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat, then allow it to cool for a few minutes.
• Process the yolks for a couple of seconds, then continue to run the blender as you add the melted butter in a slow and careful stream, until you have a thin, emulsified sauce. Add the cayenne, lemon juice and salt to taste, blend again to combine and keep at room temperature until ready to use.

TOMATO HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Place the egg yolks and water in a medium mixing bowl and place the mixture over a double boiler, whisking constantly until frothy. Cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes, removing from the heat for a moment if the eggs become too warm. Whisk in the clarified butter slowly, season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, and whisk in the tomato paste.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat so water is barely simmering.
• Off the heat, whisk egg yolks in a heatproof bowl or on top of a double boiler until they become pale. Place over the simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until the mixture is thick enough to hold a trail from the whisk and begins to hold its shape when drizzled from the whisk, about 3 minutes.
• Whisking constantly, add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each addition is incorporated completely before adding the next. When all the butter has been added, season with lemon juice, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. The sauce should be thick but still able to drizzle from a spoon (and it should form a pool, not a mound). If it is too thick, thin it with a little water.
• The sauce is best if used immediately but can sit for about an hour over hot water in a bain-marie or in a Thermos.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes, shallots, vinegar and wine into a small pan and cook 15 minutes. Strain and return to the pan. Reduce to two tablespoons.
• Off heat, whisk in the egg yolks. Place over low heat and continue whisking. Add the butter, a couple of pieces at a time. Be very careful not to overcook the sauce or it will separate.
• Continue adding the butter and whisking, moving the pan on and off the heat to prevent it from getting too hot. Whisk until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mince the basil, tarragon and thyme and add them immediately so that they do not have time to turn brown. Serve at once.
