POLLO ALLA PANNA (CHICKEN IN CREAM)



Pollo alla panna (Chicken in Cream) image

Time 1h

Yield Serves 3 or more, depending on the size of the chicken and appetites

Number Of Ingredients 6

One young chicken, cut into parts
50g (2 oz, 1/2 stick) of butter
500ml (1 pint) heavy cream
1 shallot, peeled but left whole
Salt
A sprig or two of fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken up into serving pieces, making sure that the leg is separated from the thigh, and that the breast is cut in half crosswise.
  • Melt the butter is a braising pan large enough to contain all the chicken pieces in a single layer. Add the pieces and whole shallot, and sauté over moderate heat until the chicken is very lightly browned, salting as you go. Be careful to regulate the heat so as not to allow the butter or chicken to darken too much.
  • Add cream, which should cover the chicken by about 2/3. Cover (leaving the lid slightly 'ajar' to allow for evaporation and avoid spillage) and let the chicken simmer in the cream for 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the cream reduced to a thick, saucy consistency. The cream will probably have separated, which is perfectly fine. Taste and adjust for seasoning. You can remove the shallot, which by now will be very soft or, if you like, just mash up it into the sauce.
  • Serve immediately. If you like, you can top the chicken with some chopped parsley, or add it to the sauce just before serving.

PENNE ALLA PANNA



Penne Alla Panna image

This is a very tasty and quick pasta meal. I got the recipe years ago when I was still at school and went home with one of my friends to have dinner at her house. Her family traveled to Tuscany every year and this was their version of a pasta dish they had eaten there. Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread. You can use any type of pasta really if you haven't got penne pasta, it's really nice with tortellini as well.

1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2-3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons vodka (optional)

Categories     Pasta Main Dishes

Time 1h

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
1 cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch crushed red pepper
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes in juice, undrained
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
½ (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
2 links cooked sweet Italian-style chicken sausage, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons basil, cut chiffonade style
¼ cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in white wine and chicken broth; stir to combine. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, red pepper, and black pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure a creamy and flavorful sauce, use high-quality heavy cream. Avoid using milk or half-and-half, as they will result in a thin and watery sauce.
  • For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-packaged grated cheese often contains additives and preservatives that can affect the taste of the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will not cook evenly and will release too much liquid, resulting in a watery sauce.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through before adding the sauce. This will help to prevent the chicken from becoming dry and tough.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. This will help to develop the flavor of the sauce and allow it to adhere to the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken alla panna immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Chicken alla panna is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender chicken, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, chicken alla panna is a great choice. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
