CHICKEN BOUILLABAISSE



Chicken Bouillabaisse image

This dish, made with chicken, kielbasa, and potatoes, takes its inspiration from the famous fish stew of the South of France and contains all the classic seasonings, including saffron. An expensive spice, saffron is essential to this dish. The best comes from Spain. I've also added a little tarragon at the end. Although not absolutely necessary, tarragon has a slight anise taste that complements the other seasonings. To reinforce its flavor, I add a splash of Pernod® or Ricard® at the last minute, although this ingredient is optional too.

Time 2h20m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (4 to 5-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
Good olive oil
1 large head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
1 (15 ounce) can tomato puree
1 1/2 cups good chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons Pernod
1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
Rouille, for serving, recipe follows
Crusty French bread, for serving
4 large garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
*1 extra-large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup good olive oil

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt, pepper, and the rosemary. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven and brown the chicken pieces in batches until nicely browned all over, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned chicken pieces to a plate and set aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, saffron, fennel seeds, tomato puree, chicken stock, white wine, Pernod, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper to the pot. Stir and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the garlic is very tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Carefully pour the sauce into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Return the sauce to the Dutch oven and add the sliced potatoes and browned chicken pieces with their juices. Stir carefully.
  • Cover the pot and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is done. Check the seasonings and serve hot in shallow bowls with big dollops of Rouille and slices of crusty bread.
  • Place the garlic and salt on a cutting board and mince together. Transfer the mixture to a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, saffron, and red pepper flakes. Process until smooth.
  • With the machine running, pour the olive oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube to make a thick mayonnaise emulsion. Transfer the rouille to a serving bowl and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

CHICKEN BOUILLABAISSE



Chicken Bouillabaisse image

This is a wonderful do-ahead chicken dish. Look for free-range, humanely raised chicken; you can now find free-range chicken already cut up and skinned. When I tested this recipe, I bought one package of thighs, one of drumsticks and one of breasts (which I cut in half). I had 16 pieces of chicken, enough for eight very generous servings. Marinate the chicken the day before you make this dish, and make it at least one day ahead through step 3 so that you can easily skim off the chicken fat. And if you want to make it for a smaller group, just halve the quantities.

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 1/4 pounds cut up chicken (drumsticks, thighs, breasts - 16 pieces), skinned
1/2 cup Pernod or Pastis (anise flavored aperitif)
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 generous pinches saffron threads
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, sliced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed in a mortar and pestle
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf and a couple of sprigs each thyme and rosemary
1 quart chicken or turkey stock
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold or new potatoes, scrubbed and sliced
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and broken in half
A handful of chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breasts in half for smaller pieces. Season all of the chicken with salt and pepper, and toss in a very large bowl with one pinch of the saffron and the Pernod or Pastis. Transfer the chicken pieces to a large resealable bag, pour in the liquid from the bowl and seal the bag. Place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate overnight. If possible, move the chicken around in the bag from time to time.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, working in batches, brown the chicken on all sides, about five minutes per batch. Remove to a baking sheet or bowl.
  • Heat a large, heavy casserole or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring often until they soften, about five minutes. Add the carrots and celery and a generous pinch of salt, and cook, stirring, until tender and fragrant, five to eight minutes. Stir in the garlic, cook for another minute until fragrant, and then add the tomatoes, thyme and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, about 10 minutes. Add the dark meat pieces to the pot, along with any juice that has accumulated in the bowl or sheet pan. Add the crushed fennel seeds, the stock, bouquet garni and potatoes, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste. Add the remaining pinch of saffron, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Add the breast meat pieces, and simmer another 30 minutes. Check to see that the potatoes are tender. If they are not, simmer for another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. If serving the next day (recommended), use tongs to transfer the chicken pieces to a bowl, and cover tightly. Remove the bouquet garni and discard. Refrigerate the chicken and the broth with the vegetables overnight, and skim off the fat from the surface of the broth the next day. Return the chicken to the pot to reheat.
  • While the chicken is simmering, or while reheating, blanch the beans for five minutes in a medium pot of boiling salted water. Transfer to the chicken stew. Taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in the parsley and serve in wide soup bowls.

CHICKEN BOUILLABAISSE



Chicken Bouillabaisse image

Categories     Chicken     Poultry     Stew     Dinner     Lunch     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle with salt and pepper:
6 chicken legs (split into drumsticks and thighs), skinned
Heat in large wide ovenproof pan over medium-high heat:
3 tablespoons olive oil
Add and sauté until soft and golden, about 8 minutes:
1 onion, sliced
Add and bring mixture to boil:
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
2 4-inch-long orange peel strips (orange part only)
3/4 cup dry white wine
Add and return mixture to boil:
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
1 14-ounce can low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Add chicken pieces to pan in single layer, submerging in sauce; return mixture to boil. Cover pan and place in oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from oven; keep covered. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Toast on a baking sheet until golden, about 12 minutes: 12 1/2-inch-thick baguette slices, brushed with olive oil
  • Remove from oven. Spoon chicken and sauce into shallow bowls. Top each serving with 2 toasted baguette slices. Garnish with rouille, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of seafood. This will give your bouillabaisse a more complex flavor. Some good options include shrimp, mussels, clams, and cod.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine you use will add a lot of flavor to the bouillabaisse, so it's important to choose a good one. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, is a good option.
  • Add some saffron. Saffron is a spice that adds a beautiful golden color and a unique flavor to bouillabaisse. If you can't find saffron, you can substitute turmeric.
  • Serve with crusty bread. Bouillabaisse is a hearty and flavorful soup, but it's even better when served with crusty bread for dipping.

Conclusion:

Chicken bouillabaisse is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood stew. It's perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a bouillabaisse that will impress your friends and family.
