CLASSIC CHICKEN AND WILD RICE HOTDISH



Classic Chicken and Wild Rice Hotdish image

Provided by Amy Thielen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup natural wild rice
Fine sea salt
1 bay leaf
6 tablespoons salted butter, plus more for the baking dish
2 leeks, white and light green parts, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken stock
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh)
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 cups roughly chopped cooked chicken
4 ounces aged Gouda or aged cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 cups coarsely ground buttery crackers (such as Ritz or Club; about 2 sleeves)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse it under cold running water, swishing the rice with your hand until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a medium bowl and add water to cover. Pour off any black bits or floating kernels, pour the rice back into the sieve to drain, then put it in a small saucepan. Add 1 1/4 cups water, a pinch of salt and the bay leaf; bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has evaporated. (If liquid remains after the rice is done, drain it in a sieve.)
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and celery and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the flour to the vegetables and stir until well combined. Pour in the milk and bring to a simmer, whisking to prevent any lumps. Add the cream, chicken stock, thyme, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat until the floury taste dissipates, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken, wild rice (minus the bay leaf) and half of the cheese and heat until the cheese melts.
  • Put the crushed crackers in a heavy plastic bag and add 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Shake to combine and set aside.
  • Rub a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of soft butter. Pour the chicken mixture into the dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake 25 minutes.
  • Pull the dish from the oven, sprinkle the cracker mixture over the top and bake until the crackers turn golden brown and the mixture bubbles in the center, 15 to 20 more minutes. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN BREAST AMANDINE



Chicken Breast Amandine image

Categories     Chicken     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Almond     White Wine     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large whole boneless chicken breast with the skin (about 1 pound), halved
1/4 cup slice almonds
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with a pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
fresh lemon juice to taste

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it brown the chicken, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to moderately low, cook the chicken for 6 minutes more on each side, or until it is cooked through, and transfer it to 2 heated plates.
  • Cook the almonds in the oil remaining in the skillet over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute, or until they are golden, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Add to the skillet the wine, the water, and the garlic paste and boil the mixture until it is reduced by half. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the butter, the parsley, the almonds, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste, and spoon the almond sauce over the chicken.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for organic, free-range chicken, wild rice, and fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Cook it until it is just cooked through to prevent it from becoming dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc are good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
  • Serve the chicken wild rice amandine immediately after it is cooked. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken wild rice amandine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great option for entertaining guests. The combination of chicken, wild rice, almonds, and vegetables is flavorful and satisfying. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
