CROCK POT CORSICAN CHICKEN



Crock Pot Corsican Chicken image

I nice crockpot recipe for a great chicken dish. I use this Recipe #18553 recipe for what is called for. It's great to have made up ahead of time just for dishes like this. The use of chicken thighs instead of breasts makes the dish cheaper and more flavorful. Don't let the long ingredient list scare you away. It only looks like a fancy pants recipe. Once you throw it all together in the crockpot, the most work you have to do is in making the sauce at the end.

CHICKEN NORMANDY (ESCALOPE DE POULET A LA NORMANDE)



Chicken Normandy (Escalope de Poulet a la Normande) image

This is how my mum and grandma make chicken Normandy. The main things in this recipe are to have the chicken breasts really tender and the sauce not too liquidy. Bon appetit!

Provided by CeliaBC

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (4.5 ounce) can button mushrooms, drained
1 cup heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups hot cooked rice, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-sear chicken breasts in the hot oil until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken breasts from the skillet.
  • Add drained mushrooms to the pan juices in the skillet and cook until they start to pop, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together cream, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; pour into the skillet with the mushrooms. Return chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the egg yolk from setting, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve with cooked white rice.

Tips

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and cooking equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, organic produce and free-range, grass-fed meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken, it's important to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken is considered safe to eat when it has an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). You can check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion

Corsican chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and crispy skin, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
