Porcini Chicken with Wild Rice and Wheat Berries image

Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Tomato     Bake     Dinner     White Wine     Winter     Dill     Wild Rice     Simmer     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 cups water
1 cup wild rice
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup hard wheat berries*
2 ounces dried porcini* (2 cups)
2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves (6 small or 4 large)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (14- to 16-ounces) can diced tomatoes, drained
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
Garnish: chopped fresh dill
Special Equipment
an electric coffee/spice grinder

Steps:

  • Cook rice:
  • Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then add rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and grains are split open, 1 to 1 1/4 hours (not all liquid will be absorbed). Drain in a colander.
  • Cook wheat berries while rice simmers:
  • Bring remaining 4 cups water to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, then stir in wheat berries and 1 1/4 cups porcini. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, over low heat until wheat berries are tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and pour wheat berry mixture into a large sieve set over another saucepan or a skillet. Reserve wheat berries and porcini in a bowl and boil cooking liquid until reduced to about 1 cup, then add to wheat berry mixture. (Cut up any porcini that are large.)
  • Cook chicken:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Grind remaining 3/4 cup porcini to a powder in coffee/spice grinder. (If porcini are too moist to grind, dry completely on a baking sheet in oven 3 to 5 minutes, then cool before grinding.)
  • Pat chicken dry, then arrange in 1 layer on a sheet of wax paper. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Put porcini powder in a fine mesh sieve and dust both sides of chicken generously, shaking off excess.
  • Heat oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, without crowding, turning over once, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a shallow baking dish as browned (reserve fat in skillet). Bake browned chicken until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, then let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
  • While chicken bakes and stands, add remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to fat in skillet and cook garlic over moderately low heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add wild rice, tomatoes, and wheat berry mixture (including reduced cooking liquid) and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir in dill and season with salt and pepper. Slice chicken and serve with rice mixture.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality meats and cheeses.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken or vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season your food well: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Let the dish rest before serving: After cooking, let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dish to set.
