Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten with water
1 cup bread crumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup brandy

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Gently press the chicken breasts into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until the milk is bubbly and browned around the edges, about 1 hour.

CHINESE BRANDY FRIED CHICKEN



Chinese Brandy Fried Chicken image

Make and share this Chinese Brandy Fried Chicken recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Tichiba

Categories     Meat

Time P1DT15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken consomme
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Combine chicken and marinade ingredients in a shallow dish & place in the refrigerator; let marinade for 24 hours.
  • Preparation of batter:.
  • Place dry ingredients in a small bowl & mix well. Place the ice water and egg in another bowl and slowly add the dry ingredients to the water. Mix lightly but do not over beat. There should be a few small lumps in the batter. Dredge the marinated chicken in some flour, then dip into the tempura.
  • Deep fry the "dredged" chicken in enough oil to completely sink the breast underneath the surface. The oil must be 350 degrees which is the preferred frying temp of most professional cooks. (Make sure it's not over-used and too dark, or smoking.).
  • Note: 400 degrees would fry the surface of the breast too dry, and leave the inside underdone.
  • Fry at this temp for either 15-20 minutes, or until the piece has floated at the surface for a minute. Dark meat takes a few minutes longer -- especially legs.

BRANDY CREAM CHICKEN LIVERS



Brandy Cream Chicken Livers image

I wanted a supper dish for chicken livers which was simple, comforting and would fill my DH up after a hard day's work. After first serving it up, he's declared it his favourite treatment of chicken livers and demands it very week! The amount in this recipe will serve two for a lunch or one for a supper.

Provided by JustEmma

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 15m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces chicken livers
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 ounces wensleydale cheese (or any 'crumbling' cheese which isn't very strong and doesn't melt 'stringy')
2 ounces butter
1/2 cup heavy cream (double cream)
1 tablespoon brandy (you can use Bourbon if you don't have Brandy in the kitchen)
1 tablespoon plain flour
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 loaf ciabatta (halved lengthways)

Steps:

  • Wash and trim the chicken livers. Pat dry on paper towels.
  • In a baggie, combine the flour, Cayenne Pepper and Mustard Powder. Season with Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper. Add the chicken livers to the baggie and shake to coat.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the sliced mushrooms. Saute until golden.
  • Brush the Ciabatta with Olive Oil, season with a little pepper and pop under a grill to brown.
  • Add the finely chopped garlic and floured chicken livers to the pan and saute for a couple of minutes until the outside of the livers are very lightly browned.
  • Pour the Brandy into the pan and allow to heat up for a couple of seconds before setting alight. Toss the livers around in the pan until the flames die out and allow the Brandy to reduce a little.
  • Add the cream and stir until the livers are done to your taste. If you'd like the sauce thinner, simply add a little more cream.
  • Cut the browned Ciabatta in half and put on a heat-proof plate. Turn the chicken livers out on top of the Ciabatta.
  • Crumble the cheese on top of the livers and pop under a hot grill until the cheese melts.
  • Garnish with a little chopped flat-leaf parsley and serve.
