CHICKEN IN ROMANESCO SAUCE



Chicken in Romanesco Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 red bell peppers (or 1 red and 1 yellow)
1/2 cup Marcona almonds or blanched raw almonds
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Zest and juice of 1 orange
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 Fresno chile pepper
1/2 red onion, coarsely chopped
1 large heirloom tomato
2 tablespoons EVOO
8 bone-in chicken thighs
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup dry sherry

Steps:

  • Char the bell peppers under a broiler or over a gas flame, turning occasionally. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. Peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds.
  • Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a pan or in the oven until golden, then let cool.
  • Place the roasted bell peppers in a food processor along with the almonds, chicken stock, parsley, lemon and orange zest and juice, the garlic, chile pepper and red onion. Grate the tomato on the large holes of a box grater. Discard the skin and add the tomato pulp to the food processor. Puree until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, salt and pepper and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the sherry to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in the roasted pepper sauce, reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to plates and spoon the sauce over top.

CREAMED LACINATO KALE



Creamed Lacinato Kale image

This preparation is classic for a reason. Obviously, spinach is the usual green recruited for this dish, but I love using tender kale in its place. You can make in advance, then simply warm with the breadcrumbs and top with lemon juice just before serving. This should have a baked feeling, so the oven time is important to achieve the classic "steakhouse side dish" effect.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
1 pound fresh lacinato, Tuscan or Red Russian kale, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup grated Gruyere
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Zest and juice from 1 small lemon
1 cup panko breadcrumbs, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large braiser over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add half the kale to the pan. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until the leaves take on a deep green hue and lose 50 to 75 percent of their volume, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the kale to a large bowl with the spinach. Repeat with the remaining oil and kale, adding it to the bowl as done.
  • Return the braiser to high heat and add the cream. Simmer the cream until it reduces to about 1 3/4 cups, about 5 minutes. Add the cream to the greens and stir to combine. Add the Parmesan, Gruyere, Worcestershire, chile flakes, nutmeg, lemon zest and juice and salt to taste. Return the greens to the braiser and top with the panko and a drizzle of oil. Bake until warmed, 12 to 15 minutes.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large leeks (white parts only), chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 lb cavolo nero or other kale, stems and center ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped
1 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup water
2/3 cup heavy cream

1 large whole egg
2 large egg yolks
Special Equipment
8 (3- to 4-oz) ramekins (1/3 to 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Transfer ramekins with tongs to a rack and cool 5 minutes. If desired, invert custards onto plates by first running a thin sharp knife around edge of each ramekin.

CHICKEN ROMANO WITH LACINATO KALE AND ROMANESCO



CHICKEN ROMANO WITH LACINATO KALE AND ROMANESCO image

Categories     Chicken     Braise     Healthy

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large chicken breasts halves with bones and skin
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons salt divided, plus more for the chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 yellow onion, fine chopped
1 rib of celery, fine chopped
2 fresh bay leaves (or 1 dried)
3 cloves of garlic
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 large yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup white wine
1 26 ounce can/box of San Marzano tomatoes
3 cups romanesco florets
2 cups black kale, ribs removed and torn
1 teaspoon fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. First, get the sauce started by heating a large Dutch oven on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, onion, celery and bay leaves. The longer you cook this starting mixture the tastier the sauce will be. Keep some water handy to add in if things get a little brown too quickly. After about 10 minutes add the garlic, bell pepper and one teaspoon of salt and pepper (or to taste). Continue to cook an additional 10 minutes. Add the wine and stir up any bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Now, add the tomatoes, breaking them up with your spoon. Stir in the remaining salt. Taste for additional seasoning, cover and continue to simmer while you finish searing the chicken. Cut the chicken breasts halves in half, so you end up with quarter pieces. You're going to cut perpendicular to the breastbone through the middle of the breast bone (see photo). You'll need a sharp knife to slice through the bone. You can have your butcher do it for you (if you're lucky enough to have a real live butcher). Salt and pepper the breast quarters. In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the chicken on all sides until golden brown - depending on the size of your pan, you may have to do this in batches. After the all the chicken is browned, nestle it into the sauce, bone side up. Cover chicken completely with sauce, spooning it over so all of the pieces are covered. Cook in the oven 45 minutes. Then, flip chicken pieces over and add the romanesco and kale. Cover and return to the oven for 15 minutes. To serve, portion out the chicken and sauce into shallow bowls - if you're entertaining, you might want to remove the breastbone from the chicken prior to serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
  • If you don't have any white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream, you can substitute milk or evaporated milk.
  • To make the sauce extra creamy, blend it with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Serve chicken romano with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Chicken romano is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, creamy sauce, and roasted vegetables is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful dinner, give chicken romano a try.
