Chicken in Aspic - Kyckling I Gele image

A beautiful buffet or smörgåsbord dish from another era. Very easy to assemble the day before. Canned broth and leftover tender roast chicken or turkey could easily be subbed for the stewed chicken and stock called for if you wish to save time. From the Scandinavian section of The United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Institute of Chicago, 1947. Chilling time not included in prep time.

Time 3h

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 lbs stewing chicken
1 carrot
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon salt
4 tablespoons plain gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 tablespoon brandy
1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained
salad greens
mayonnaise (use a good quality, such as Hellman's)

Steps:

  • Clean the chicken thoroughly.
  • Cover with boiling water and add carrot, bay leaf and salt.
  • Cook until tender (2 or 3 hours), depending on the age of the chicken.
  • Remove the chicken, strain broth.
  • Soften gelatin in cold water for five minutes; add to the 3 1/2 cups of hot stock and stir until dissolved.
  • Cool and add brandy.
  • Skin and bone the chicken; cut into slices.
  • Spray a ring mold (individual molds will work just fine, too) with cooking spray; pour a thin layer of the aspic in the bottom of the mold and place in the refrigerator.
  • When firm, arrange the chicken slices and drained peas in layers on the aspic.
  • Fill the mold with remaining aspic and chill until firm or overnight.
  • Unmold onto salad greens and fill center with a good quality mayonnaise.

I'm not a fan of aspic, but I thought this dish was pretty good. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the aspic gel was not too overpowering. I would definitely eat this dish again.

This dish was just okay. The chicken was cooked well, but the aspic gel was a bit bland. I think I would have enjoyed it more if the aspic gel had been flavored with something like lemon or herbs.

I was disappointed with this dish. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the aspic gel was too thick and gelatinous. I would not recommend this recipe.
