TANGY CHICKEN WITH SHIITAKE CRUST

Steps:

• For the sauce, place orange zest, shallots, wine and vinegar in heavy medium saucepan. Boil over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup. Add chicken broth and tomato paste, boil until reduced to 1 cup. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing to extract liquid. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared a day ahead.)
• For the chicken, heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, shallots and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool completely. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove small fillets from underside of each chicken breast and place in a food processor. Pulse until chicken forms a smooth paste. Add mushroom mixture and pulse until coarsely chopped.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat chicken breasts dry. Pound them lightly between 2 sheets of waxed paper to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mushroom mixture into 6 parts. Place a 12-inch piece of plastic wrap on a work surface, placing 1 part of the mushroom mixture in the center. Fold the plastic in over the mushroom mixture and pat it to an even thickness, slightly larger than the chicken breasts.
• Pull back plastic and place 1 breast, rounded side down, on top of the mushroom mixture. Gather plastic tightly around the chicken breast until mushroom mixture adheres to the top and sides of the chicken. Unwrap and gently invert the breast, uncoated side down, onto baking sheet. Carefully peel away plastic. Repeat with remaining breasts and mushroom mixture. (Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before baking.)
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake chicken for 12 minutes (10 minutes for medium or small breasts). Remove from oven and let stand for 12 minutes; chicken will continue to cook. Slice breasts diagonally. Arrange each breast on a plate, fanning out slices. Reheat sauce over medium high heat. Stir in chervil. Whisk in the butter and ladle around chicken. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH SHIITAKES AND PROVOLONE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil.

• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté mushroom mixture, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir into cheese (some cheese will melt).
• Pat chicken dry, then cut a deep 3-inch-long pocket horizontally in long curved side of each chicken breast half and fill each pocket with one fourth of cheese mixture (some filling will be visible).
• Put chicken in baking pan, then melt remaining tablespoon butter and brush over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast until cooked through and cheese is melted (filling will ooze), 20 to 25 minutes.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SCALLIONS, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it cook the chicken breasts, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, skin sides down, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are golden. Turn the breasts and cook them over moderate heat, covered, for 7 to 8 minutes more, or until they are cooked through. Transfer the breasts to a platter and keep them warm. To the skillet add the garlic, the shallot, and the 2 thyme sprigs (or the dried thyme if using) and cook the mixture, stirring, until the shallot is softened. Add the vinegar, boil the mixture until the vinegar is almost evaporated, and add the mushrooms. Cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute, add the wine, and boil the mixture until the wine is almost evaporated. Add 1 1/4 cups of the broth and the scallions and simmer the mixture for 1 minute. In a small bowl whisk together the remaining 1/4 cups broth and the arrowroot and add the mixture to the skillet with the tomatoes and the fresh thyme leaves. Simmer the sauce, stirring, for 1 minute, or until it is thickened, stir in any juices that have accumulated around the chicken, and add salt and pepper to taste. Transfer a chicken breast to each of 6 dinner plates, spoon some of the sauce over each breast, and garnish each serving with 1 of the additional thyme sprigs.
