The only real variable is that you want the stock to be about 1/2 inch deep when you add it.... That being said, I have a nice 14 inch sauteuse, which holds a lot of chicken, thus the 3 birds. I cut them up, using only the leg, thigh, and breast. The backs and wings went into stock, but you can use them as well, your choice. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.</p> </p> <p> <p>Preheat the oven to about 300. Put your braising vessel on the heat and adjust heat to medium high. When hot, add the tablespoon of oil and spread around bottom of pan. Add a layer of chicken and brown well on first side. Do not crowd the chicken at this point as we want to let the steam escape. Do the chicken in batches if needed. I'm doing two batches.</p> </p> <p> <p>When well browned, turn chicken and brown other side.</p> </p> <p> <p>When well browned on both sides, remove chicken to a tray, and finish second batch if appropriate.</p> </p> <p> <p>You pan will collect some chicken fat in addition to the oil we added. Pour off most of the fat, leaving a tablespoon or two. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions and garlic and saute till soft. Deglaze the pan with the white wine (I often use white vermouth instead as vermouth holds well in an open bottle...)</p> </p> <p> <p>When the wine has reduced, add the chicken back in arranging for maximum capacity. I like to put the point of the breasts in the center of the pan, as they are the smallest part, in a star pattern. Then I can put a thigh between each breast, near the rim of the pan, and a leg at the base of the breast.</p> </p> <p> <p>Break the rosemary into smaller stems, and arrange on the chicken. Use as much as you like, bearing in mind that fresh rosemary is more mild than dried. Add enough stock to be 1/2 inch deep. The tighter the chicken is packed into the pan, the less stock you'll need. The 3 cups is just a rough estimate. The depth is what is important. Cover, and place in the 300F oven. Back for about an hour and a half or till tender.</p> </p> <p> <p>When tender, you'll notice that the liquid in the pan is actually deeper. This is liquid given off by the chicken. Remove the chicken to a tray, and strain the pan juices.</p> </p> <p> <p>While the chicken braises, cut up the potatoes.</p> </p> <p> <p>Return the strained sauce to the pan (rinsed out to remove rosemary stems, etc.), adjust the seasoning, and add the potatoes. They should be sufficient to fill the pan in one layer.</p> </p> <p> <p>Top the potatoes with the celery, and sliced leek.</p> </p> <p> <p>Return pan with the sauce, potatoes, and celery to the oven. When the potatoes are just near tender, arrange chicken on top of the potatoes, and return to the oven to re-heat the chicken. After about 15 minutes (or when chicken warmed through) remove and serve.</p> </p> <p> <strong>Servings:</strong> 6<br /> <strong>Prep Time:</strong> 3 hours <br/> <strong>By:</strong> Warren<br/> For more info visit:<br/> <a href= "http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/541 " />http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/541 </a> </p> 2012-02-03 19:32:16 UTC Chicken in tarragon tomato cream http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/440 <p><img alt="image not found" src="http://www.recipesonrails.com/system/photos/440/thumb/440.jpg"></p> <strong>Ingredients:</strong><br/> <p> <em>Default</em><br /> 4.0 each Chicken Breast deboned<br/> 1.0 each Onion diced<br/> 1.0 each pattipan squash large, cubed<br/> 0.25 cup Cognac <br/> 1.0 cup Stock, Chicken <br/> 0.5 cup Cream, Heavy <br/> 2.0 tablespoon Butter <br/> 1.0 each Zucchini Slices cubed<br/> 1.5 tablespoon Tarragon finely chopped<br/> 0.5 can Tomatoes, Diced <br/> 4.0 ear Corn cut off cob<br/> </p> <strong>Instructions:</strong><br/> <p> <p>Preheat oven to 450</p> </p> <p> <p>Cut up pattipan squash, removing seeds that are in the middle. Add the cubed zuch. </p> </p> <p> <p>Toss with oil, salt and pepper. Spread out on cookie sheet.</p> </p> <p> <p>Roast in the oven till squash starts to brown on top. </p> </p> <p> <p>If using Sous-vide chicken breasts, remove from the bag, dry, and pan fry to give chicken color.</p> <p>Otherwise, Use brined deboned chicken breasts. Preheat pan to med high. Dry breasts and toss with oil, salt and pepper. Lightly oil the pan and saute chicken breast. <br />Place browned breasts into the oven to finish cooking. When done, remove from oven, and set breasts aside. </p> </p> <p> <p>Return uncleaned pan to the heat. There should be just a little fat in the pan. If not, add some. Add the diced onion and saute. Since there's the brown chicken fond in the pan, make sure you don't burn it. It may loosen with the moisture from the onions. When the fond can take no more heat (onions may not be done yet), add the cognac and flame. When flames die down, add corn kernels, and finely minced tarragon.</p> <p>Reduce.</p> <p>Add chicken broth, and reduce further.</p> </p> <p> <p>While broth reduces, drain pasta. Add about 1/2 can of diced tomatoes (Progresso roasted tomatoes works well) and cook for a few minutes, stirring. Add the pasta and the roasted squash/zucchini to the pan and toss.</p> </p> <p> <p>Cook briefly to finish the pasta if needed and add the cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper. When it reaches the proper consistency, remove from heat and stir in the butter, a little at a time.</p> <p>Plate the pasta. Slice the chicken breasts, and arrange on top of the sauce. Sprinkle plate with chives. </p> </p> <p> <strong>Servings:</strong> 4<br /> <strong>Prep Time:</strong> <br/> <strong>By:</strong> Warren<br/> For more info visit:<br/> <a href= "http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/440 " />http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/440 </a> </p> 2012-02-03 19:32:18 UTC Chicken Jus http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/601 <p><img alt="image not found" src="http://www.recipesonrails.com/system/photos/601/thumb/601.jpg"></p> <strong>Ingredients:</strong><br/> <p> <em></em><br /> 1.0 tablespoon Oil, Olive <br/> 1.5 pound Chicken Backs rinsed<br/> 1.0 pound Carrot chunked<br/> 0.5 pound Onion coarse dice<br/> 8.0 sprig Thyme fresh<br/> 0.5 cup Vinegar, Wine <br/> 3.0 cup Stock, Chicken <br/> </p> <strong>Instructions:</strong><br/> <p> <p>Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Remove skin from thighs.</p> <p>2) Trim fat deposits and rinse all chicken <br />thoroughly</p> <p>3) This step is critical. Cut all chicken pieces in half. I use a <br />cleaver . This exposes the crucial bone marrow. The more marrow you <br />expose, the better the sauce. I chop the wings into 4 or five pieces. <br />Do not add giblets and neck.</p> <p>4) In large pot, combine chicken, salt, Paprika, chicken base, and <br />enough water to just cover the chicken pieces. Cook, partially <br />covered, at such temperature that a simmer to very gentle boil is <br />achieved. You want just a bit of bubbling. Do so until the chicken is <br />thoroughly cooked and easily removed from the bone--About 1.5 hrs. (I <br />cook the chicken until it is on the verge of falling off the bone. <br />This extracts maximum flavor from the chicken.)</p> <p>5) Strain mixture to separate broth and chicken. Place chicken into <br />a warm serving dish. Return broth to pot and place on medium heat.</p> <p>6) In a mixing bowl, combine enough milk to sour cream to render a <br />mixture that is pourable. The consistency is roughly that of very <br />thick pancake batter and requires a sour cream / milk ratio of about <br />2:1. If you use a pint of sour cream, you'll use about 1/2 pint milk, <br />maybe a bit more. </p> <p>7) Vigorously mix sour cream and milk mixture into broth. I use a <br />whisk for this. Carefully bring the sauce to a boil and remove <br />immediately from heat (see note at end). Failure to remove promptly <br />will result in very messy boiling over! Set burner to it's lowest <br />setting and return pot to the burner to keep sauce hot. <br />The sauce is basically finished at this point. You may wish to <br />fine tune by adding more salt, sour cream, Paprika, and/or chicken <br />base. I sometimes add a 1/2 cup or so of heavy cream for added <br />richness. You may also want to skim most of the liquid fat from the <br />sauce surface.</p> <p>Noodles procedure: <br />1) Combine flour, salt, and eggs in a hemispherical bowl large enough <br />to accommodate mixing.</p> <p>2) Add about 1/2 cup water and proceed to blend ingredients with a <br />fork until well blended. The consistency you're striving for is such <br />that the dough is clearly wet, adheres to the bowl, and is loose <br />enough to slowly spread out when a dollop is applied to the cutting <br />board. Add enough water to achieve this. I've never measured how much <br />water I use, but think it's about 1/2 cup plus some. <br />Actually, the consistency is not critical. I'm guessing you've <br />made noodles (or dumplings) like this, and that additional, <br />excruciating explanation is not necessary.</p> <p>3) Set a dutch oven (good size pot) 2/3 full of water to boil.</p> <p>4) At this point, obviously the dough goes into the water. I place a <br />good size dollop on a small cutting board and use a gently curved, <br />sharp knife to cut perhaps 3/4 size blobs which are then vigorously <br />swept off the board into the boiling water. They are done when they <br />float to the surface. A perforated spoon is used to remove the noodles <br />from the water which are placed in a warm serving bowl. I cut perhaps <br />3-4 dozen noodles, let them cook (very quick), remove, and proceed to <br />add the next 3-4 dozen until all of the dough is consumed. If it looks <br />like boiling over is about to occur, add some cold water.</p> <p>Finally: <br />At this point you should have a pot of wonderful sauce, a bowl full <br />of chicken pieces, and a bowl of noodles. For serving, place a good <br />serving of noodles and half (maybe less) as much chicken into a flat <br />bowl. Apply enough sauce to almost cover noodles and chicken. You may <br />want to salt to taste. My wife likes pepper on it. I do not. In any <br />case, Viola!</p> <p>That's it. I really want you to try this, as everyone on both <br />sides of our family loves it. My instructions are laborious because <br />attention paid to various details will produce a superb dish, while an <br />average effort with average ingredients produce a result that is only <br />very good.</p> <p>Sam <br />-------------- <br />Note: You may want to only add a portion of the sour cream / milk at <br />a time, testing as you go for taste. We tend to like a lot of sour <br />cream flavor, but you may desire less. In any case, the resultant <br />should be rich and satisfying, but not overwhelmed with sour cream. <br />Also, there may be some question about bringing the sauce to a <br />boil. It is not necessary, but imparts more complexity to the sauce. <br />Most premium sour cream brands will not separate, but if some <br />separation occurs, no matter--just whisk it back together and it will <br />be fine. <br />Finally, I hope the apparent complexity of this dish doesn't scare <br />you off. It's one of those dishes that is made with the gut, and is <br />therefore difficult to quantify in a way that permits precise <br />description in recipe form.</p> </p> <p> <strong>Servings:</strong> 1<br /> <strong>Prep Time:</strong> <br/> <strong>By:</strong> Warren<br/> For more info visit:<br/> <a href= "http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/40 " />http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/40 </a> </p> 2012-02-05 19:37:46 UTC Chicken Paprikas http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/10 <p><img src="http://www.recipesonrails.com/images/ror_default_thumbnail.png " alt="default"/> </p> <strong>Ingredients:</strong><br/> <p> <em>Default</em><br /> 2.0 each Onion <br/> 2.0 tablespoon Butter <br/> 1.0 each Pepper, Bell <br/> 1.0 can Tomatoes <br/> 1.0 tablespoon paprika <br/> 1.0 teaspoon salt <br/> 2.0 tablespoon sour cream <br/> 1.0 tablespoon Flour, all-purpose <br/> 2.0 cup Cream, Heavy <br/> </p> <strong>Instructions:</strong><br/> <p> <p>Use a 5 quart heavy casserole</p> <p>Onions should be medium sized, minced <br />Tomatoes should be whole, cut up. <br />Paprika should be a heaping tablespoon.</p> <p>Cook the onion in the butter, over low heat, covered, for about 5 minutes. <br />The onions should become almost pasty, but not browned at all.</p> <p>Add the cut up chicken and tomato and cook, covered for 10 minutes.</p> <p>Add the paprika, 1/2 cup water, and the salt.

I use a whole grain mustard instead of the Dijon.</p> </p> <p> <p>Shape the dough into a pizza shape and put it on the peel.</p> </p> <p> <p>Paint the dough with the honey/mustard sauce.</p> </p> <p> <p>Arrange chicken on the pizza.</p> </p> <p> <p>Then add the basil.</p> </p> <p> <p>At this point, I'd put it in the egg, on the pizza stone, pre-heated for at least 1/2 hour to about 550 F. I like to use an inverted plate setter with the regular grate on the plate setter legs, with the pizza stone on the grate. This way, the plate setter acts as a diffuser, and no flare-ups or hot spots affect the pizza stone. Bake the pizza for about 5 minutes.</p> </p> <p> <p>Then, remove the pizza, add the cheese, and return to the egg for another 5 minutes or so. Watch closely to achieve the desired degree of doneness.</p> </p> <p> <strong>Servings:</strong> 4<br /> <strong>Prep Time:</strong> <br/> <strong>By:</strong> Warren<br/> For more info visit:<br/> <a href= "http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/511 " />http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/511 </a> </p> 2012-02-06 09:20:24 UTC Matzoh Balls http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes/52 <p><img alt="image not found" src="http://www.recipesonrails.com/system/photos/52/thumb/52.jpg"></p> <strong>Ingredients:</strong><br/> <p> <em>Matzoh Balls</em><br /> 4.0 each Egg <br/> 0.16 pound Chicken Fat melted<br/> 0.5 cup Stock, Chicken <br/> 1.0 teaspoon salt <br/> 0.27 pound Matzoh Meal <br/> </p> <strong>Instructions:</strong><br/> <p> <p>Separate the eggs and beat the whites.</p> </p> <p> <p>Melt the fat.

When you've reached the shaping, scale into six .75# boules and allow to rise for only 15 minutes. Please each boule in a separate plastic bag and refrigerate, at least over night. About an hour before intended use, take the dough out and allow to rise for about an hour.</p> </p> <p> <p>If you don't have a favorite barbeque sauce on hand, make the Teriyaki Barbecue Sauce, recipe below. I also assume you already have some smoked chicken on hand, maybe left over from the day before.</p> </p> <p> <p>Place one boule on your floured work surface.</p> </p> <p> <p>Shape the dough with your fingers.</p> </p> <p> <p>Place the dough on thee back of your hands and start stretching.</p> </p> <p> <p>Continue stretching until the dough tells you it's done, and you've reached the desired size.</p> </p> <p> <p>Place the dough on your LIGHTLY floured peel.</p> </p> <p> <p>Spread barbeque sauce on the dough.</p> </p> <p> <p>Preheat the egg to about 600+ dome, but you want the pizza stone to be about 500 even...
