SAINT-TROPEZ CHICKEN

This is a delicious Nigella Lawson recipe that was printed in our Sunday paper some time ago. It's great to throw into the oven on a chilly Sunday afternoon. The dried herbs can be any that you like...rosemary, lavender, thyme, tarragon or oregano, or a mixture of all or any of those. Plan ahead, this has to marinate overnight.

ST. BRENDEN'S CHICKEN



St. Brenden's Chicken image

This is a pesto cream sauce where you make the pesto ahead and freeze in portions to use for another night. I got this recipe from a restaurant in Green Bay called St. Brenden's. I usually make this on a Saturday afternoon when I have some free time (and freeze it all), but I have made it on a week night and only froze two portions. Triple the pesto ingredients and use one portion tonight; freeze the rest for later.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced shallot
1 small clove garlic, chopped
1 ¾ tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 ⅓ tablespoons toasted pine nuts
¼ cup chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
1 (8 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet and cook and stir shallot and garlic until shallot is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir 1 3/4 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and basil into the hot olive oil, cooking until basil is tender and wilted, about 10 more minutes.
  • Stir 1 cup cream into basil mixture and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce until it has reduced by 1/3, about 15 minutes. Stir remaining 1/2 cup cream into sauce and simmer until thickened again, 15 to 30 more minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until lightly browned outside and no longer pink inside, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Gently fold cooked pasta and chicken into basil sauce. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Prepare the marinade in advance: Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, allows the flavors to penetrate and tenderize the meat.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: The combination of rosemary, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, and paprika in this recipe creates a flavorful and aromatic marinade. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices that you enjoy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown properly. Overcrowding the pan will result in steamed chicken rather than seared.
  • Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C): Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through before removing it from the heat. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

Saint Tropez Chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own, with a side of roasted vegetables, or served over rice or pasta. The combination of tangy lemon and herb marinade, perfectly seared chicken, and flavorful sauce makes this a standout dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. With its relatively simple preparation and impressive results, this recipe is a must-try for home cooks of all skill levels.
