CHICKEN BONNE FEMME (JULIA CHILD)
Casserole-roasted chicken with potatoes and bacon, adapted from Julia Child's recipe, posted here for safekeeping. Small new potatoes may be used instead of the boiling potatoes. This is a one-dish meal, but Julia suggests serving broiled tomatoes alongside for color. The preparation time is an estimate.

Steps:
- To make the herb bouquet: tie the parsley, bay leaf and thyme together in washed cheesecloth.
- Remove the rind and cut the bacon into strips 1/2 inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long.
- In 2 quarts water, simmer the bacon for 10 minutes. Rinse in cold water and dry.
- In a fireproof casserole, saute the bacon for 2 to 3 minutes in 1 tablespoon of the butter until lightly browned. Transfer to a dish.
- Brown the chicken in the hot fat, breast side down. Brown for 2 minutes, regulating heat so the butter is always very hot but not burning.
- Turn the chicken on another side using 2 wooden spoons or a towel. Continue browning and turning the chicken until it is a nice golden color almost all over, particularly on the breast and legs. This will take 10 to 15 minutes. Add more oil, if necessary, to keep the bottom of the casserole filmed.
- Remove the chicken from the pan. Pour the fat out of the casserole. Set the oven at 325 degrees (F.).
- Drop the onions into boiling, salted water and boil slowly for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Peel the potatoes and trim them into uniform ovals about 2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Drain immediately.
- In the casserole, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter until foaming. Add the potatoes and roll them around over moderate heat for 2 minutes to evaporate their moisture; this will prevent their sticking to the casserole. Spread them in the pan.
- Salt the chicken and place it breast up in the casserole.
- Place the bacon and onions on the potatoes and add the herb bouquet.
- Baste all the ingredients with the butter in the casserole.
- Lay a piece of aluminum foil over the chicken, and cover the casserole.
- Heat the casserole on top of the stove until the contents are sizzling. Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour and 10 to 20 minutes or until the chicken leg registers 180 degrees (F.) on an instant-read thermometer.
- Baste once or twice with the juices in the pan.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken and pat dry. Liberally season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or pot. When hot, fry chicken skin up for about 10 minutes. Turn and fry 10 minutes on the other side. Chicken should be browned and juices should run clean when pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from skillet. Let it drain first on a wire rack and transfer onto a large platter. With oil still hot, fry potatoes until browned and crisp. Drain and place around chicken on the platter. Place garlic in a small strainer and dip into the hot oil for about 30 seconds. Remove and mix with parsley. Sprinkle garlic parsley over chicken and serve.
BREASTS OF CHICKEN BONNE MAMAN
When I create a dish, I am apt to give it a name - at the very least as a point of reference. When I made a dish with chicken breasts and small white onions, mushrooms and a little dry white wine, it reminded me so much of a meal served in my childhood home that I dubbed it "bonne maman," which means grandmother or granny. It is an excellent home-style dish that can be made in minutes. Simply cook the breast pieces in a skillet and add the onions. Ten minutes later add the mushrooms and wine. The total cooking time is less than 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut each piece of breast in half crosswise down the center. Cut off and discard any bone lines or membranes.

- Peel the onions and put them in a saucepan. Add cold water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook about 2 minutes. Drain.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the breast pieces.
- Cook about 30 seconds and add the onions.
- Cook 10 minutes and turn the breast pieces. Scatter the mushrooms over all and cook about 3 minutes.
- Add the basil leaves, wine and butter. Cover and cook about 3 minutes. Remove the basil leaves and garnish each piece of breast with one of the leaves. Serve with the onions and mushrooms in sauce spooned over.
