Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 pound fresh sorrel
2 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts, each split lengthwise in half
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced, about 3 cups
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Pick over the sorrel. Discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse the leaves and pat them dry. Pack the leaves closely and cut them crosswise into very thin strips. This is called a chiffonade There should be about two cups or slightly more when loosely packed.
  • Pat the chicken breast halves lightly with a flat mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the mushrooms and set them aside.
  • Heat one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms give up their liquid and the liquid evaporates. Add the sorrel and cook, stirring, until the sorrel wilts. Add the cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook about two minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining two tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet and add the chicken breast pieces. Cook, turning the pieces occasionally, until cooked through, about six to eight minutes.
  • Pour the sorrel sauce into a heat- proof dish and bring to the boil, stirring. Arrange the chicken pieces on top. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.

CHICKEN WITH SORREL

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
1 2 1/2- to 3-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large or 2 medium onions, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
6 cups loosely packed sorrel, about 1/2 pound, trimmed and washed

Steps:

  • Put butter in large skillet, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to medium-high. When butter begins to melt, swirl it around pan. When its foam subsides and it begins to brown, add the chicken, skin side down. Cook, rotating pieces after 3 or 4 minutes so they brown evenly. As they brown on the skin side, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and turn them over; sprinkle skin side with salt and pepper as well. If necessary, lower heat to medium to prevent burning. Remove chicken to a plate when chicken is completely browned all over, in 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Immediately add onions to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and cook for a minute, stirring occasionally, until it reduces slightly. Return chicken to pan, turn heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for about 10 minutes. Uncover, add sorrel, stir, and cover again.
  • Cook about 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and sorrel is dissolved into onions and liquid. Serve hot, with rice or crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Gather all your ingredients and equipment before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling for ingredients while you're cooking.
  • Choose the right sorrel: Sorrel leaves should be bright green and tender. Avoid leaves that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Wash the sorrel thoroughly: Sorrel leaves can be gritty, so be sure to wash them thoroughly before using them.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook them over medium heat until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sorrel sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. This will save you time on busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

Chicken with sorrel sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sorrel sauce is creamy, tangy, and slightly lemony, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
