Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
1/4 cup minced shallots (1 large)
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and sprinkle them generously on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, until it begins to smoke. Place the chicken breasts, skin side down, in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until golden brown.
  • Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts skin side up, place the skillet in the oven, and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, combine the white wine, lemon juice, and shallots and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain in the pan. If it reduces too much, add an extra splash of white wine or water. Add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a full boil. Remove from the heat, add the diced butter, and swirl the pan until the butter is incorporated. Don't reheat or the sauce will "break"! Sprinkle with salt and serve the chicken hot with the sauce spooned over it.

RISHIA ZIMMERN'S CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS



Rishia Zimmern's Chicken With Shallots image

Here is a simple, excellent one-pot recipe for a midweek feast, full of rich flavor, with a sauce that you won't want to waste. It came to The Times in 2014 via the Twitter account of Andrew Zimmern, the chef and globe-trotting television personality who thrills to home cooking when he's not at work, which is not often. His then wife, Rishia Zimmern, adapted it from Martha Stewart, and he put it on the social network: "Brown 8 thighs, 3 C shallots. Add wine, tarragon, Dijon, sim 30 min covered. Remove lid, reduce. Add 2C cut cherry toms." We've been messing around with that ever since, and thrill to its flavor. Lay in bread to accompany it, and sop up the sauce.

Categories     dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 to 15 whole medium shallots, peeled
2 cups white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tarragon sprigs
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken thighs very dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the flour, salt and pepper over the chicken.
  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet set over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, until well browned and crisp on all sides. Set aside.
  • Add the whole shallots to the pot and sauté them in the butter and chicken fat until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, stir with a large spoon, then add the mustard and tarragon, then the chicken thighs. Cover the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes to the pot, stir lightly to combine and serve immediately.

SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WHITE WINE-BUTTER SAUCE



Skillet Chicken Thighs with White Wine-Butter Sauce image

The stovetop-to-oven cast-iron skillet technique in this recipe is our go-to for achieving crispy, juicy chicken thighs. If you're tight on time, the chicken is delicious without the butter sauce (simply plate the thighs straight out of the oven). But to truly impart restaurant-worthy flavor, try your hand at the classic white wine and butter sauce known as beurre blanc in French. The recipe makes a plentiful amount of sauce; nestle the chicken into some of it, then spoon more over every other component of your dinner.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1/3 cup champagne vinegar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them on both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large oven-proof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet skin-side down and cook, moving them around once or twice to ensure even browning, until the skin is very golden brown, 11 to 12 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Grasp a wad of paper towels with tongs and mop up excess fat in the bottom of the skillet-this will prevent the grease from spattering all over your oven; carefully discard the paper towel. Repeat several times until there's only a thin film of oil over the bottom of the skillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is almost cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip the thighs so they are skin side up, then continue roasting until no longer pink near the bone, another 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken thighs to a plate, skin side up. Wipe out the skillet and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, start your sauce. Combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon juice and bay leaves in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the mixture is reduced to a wet paste, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cream and continue to simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
  • Reduce the heat to low and remove the bay leaves. Add a few chunks of the butter and whisk constantly until melted, then add a few more chunks and whisk again until melted. Continue adding and whisking the butter, which should melt into a creamy emulsion, until all the butter is incorporated, about 4 minutes. Do not let the sauce go over 130 degrees F or it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from the heat, add 2 ice cubes and whisk until it cools down and comes back together.
  • Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Transfer it to the cast iron skillet, nestle the chicken on top and sprinkle the whole dish with chives. Serve immediately.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS AND WHITE WINE



Sauteed Chicken With Shallots and White Wine image

Recipe from my friend, Ginny, who is an excellent cook. Note: This dish may be made ahead and refrigerated in a covered container for up to 1 day (or freeze up to 2 months). To reheat, thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight, then bake it in a covered baking dish at 375 degrees F until heated through (about 10 minutes). Drizzel with a little olive oil to replace lost moisture.

Categories     Poultry

Time 47m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 lbs skinless chicken pieces
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large shallot, sliced (2.5 oz)
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 small tomatoes, coarsely chopped (4 oz.)
3 tablespoons dry white wine or 3 tablespoons chicken broth
2 teaspoons cold butter, cut into 2-3 pieces
2 teaspoons parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with 1/2 tsp of the salt, the thyme, and 1/8 tsp of the pepper.
  • Head the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. At the chicken, thickest side down, and cook until golden (about 5 minutes). Turn and cook until golden (3-4 minutes).
  • Reduce the heat to very low, pour off the fat, and arrange the shallot, garlic, and tomatoes around the chicken. Cook for 1 minute. Add the wine or broth, cover, and cook until the breast juices run clear and a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees F (12-15 minutes).
  • Remove the breasts to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining chicken, uncovered until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F (8-10 minutes). Remove to the platter and cover.
  • There should be about 1/2 cup of wine or broth mixture left in the skillet. If there's more, boil it down over high heat; or if there's less, stir in water, wine or broth to bring it up to 1/2 cup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir in the butter, parsley, the remaining 1/4 tsp salt, and the remaining 1/8 tsp pepper. Pour over the chicken and serve.

Provided by James Beard

Categories     Wine     Chicken     Poultry     Sauté     White Wine     Spring     House & Garden

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 to 4 pound chicken, quartered
Flour (optional)
4-6 tablespoons butter
Salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup white wine (Pouilly Fuissé or White Pinot)
Garnish: chopped parsley or chives

Steps:

  • Brown the chicken pieces in the butter, turning each piece to color evenly. When browned, season to taste with salt and pepper and add 1/2 to 3/4 cup white wine. Reduce heat and continue cooking until chicken is tender. You may cover the pan during part of the cooking time, which speeds the process, or cook uncovered. Any additional flavorings that you choose may be added during the cooking and the chicken pieces should be turned over once or twice to bathe them thoroughly in the flavorings and juices. When the chicken is tender and cooked, remove it to a hot platter. Rinse the pan with a little additional wine and let it cook down with the juices for a few minutes. Pour pan juices over the chicken and garnish with a little parsley or chives.
  • Drink the same wine you used in the cooking: Pouilly Fuissé, Meursault, or White Pinot from California.

CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS AND SHIITAKE-WINE SAUCE



Chicken with Caramelized Shallots and Shiitake-Wine Sauce image

This is a perfect autumn dish, full of rich flavor and deep color. Be sure to really press down on the chicken when you add it to the pan to help the shallots and green onions stick to the skin and form a sort of caramelized onion crust. I prefer dark meat because it is generally juicier and more flavorful, but this method works very well with both dark and light meat.

Yield makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 bone-in chicken thighs or 4 bone-in or boneless breasts, with skin
Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 large shallots (about 4 ounces), thinly sliced
2 green onions (white and light green parts), chopped
Ingredients for Shiitake-Wine Sauce (page 167, see Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots and green onions and cook, stirring, just until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Arrange the chicken over the onions skin-side down and use a spatula to firmly press each piece of chicken into the onions. Cover the skillet and cook until the shallots and green onions are browned and sticking to the skin of the chicken and the chicken is almost completely cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and transfer the pan to the oven until the chicken is completely cooked, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the shiitake-wine sauce.
  • Transfer the chicken and the caramelized onions to individual plates or a serving platter. Pour over some of the sauce; transfer the remainder to a gravy boat and pass at the table. Serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have shallots on hand, you can substitute a small onion, finely chopped.
  • For a richer flavor, use a dry white wine with a medium body, such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.
  • If you're using a non-stick skillet, you can reduce the amount of butter or oil used.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This classic French dish is a delicious and elegant main course that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful shallots, and rich white wine creates a dish that is sure to impress your guests. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give this Chicken with Shallots and White Wine a try. You won't be disappointed.
