Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
5 slices bacon
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 cups peeled, cored and diced pears
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
¼ cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Rub chicken breasts with salt and white pepper. Place chicken breasts in the hot skillet, and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, until the juices run clear.

Roasted Chicken with Bourbon Pear Butter Glaze image

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups unsweetened pear sauce (like applesauce, but pear)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Juice of 2 lemons (save the rinds for the chickens)
Two 3- to 4-pound chickens
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 bulb fennel, quartered, fronds reserved for garnish
1 bulb fennel, shaved on a mandolin (or sliced very thinly), fronds reserved for garnish
Juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the pear butter glaze: Combine the pear sauce, sugar, bourbon, cardamom and lemon juice in a saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until it reduces by half, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the glaze to slather on the chickens as they cook, and the rest for serving.
  • For the roasted chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Pat the chickens dry and sprinkle liberally all over with salt and pepper. Divide the rosemary, lemon rinds and fennel between the cavities of both chickens. Tie the legs with butcher's twine and tuck the wings under the chickens.
  • Place the chickens in a roasting pan and roast for 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and slather the chickens generously with the reserved pear butter glaze. Roast until the juices run clear when pricked, 15 to 20 more minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow for carryover cooking.
  • For the fennel salad: Meanwhile, toss the shaved fennel with the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and place on a platter.
  • Slather the chickens generously with more of the pear butter glaze and put the chickens on top of the shaved fennel salad. Garnish with fennel fronds. Serve with the remaining glaze.

CHICKEN WITH BRANDY-PEAR SAUCE



Chicken With Brandy-Pear Sauce image

A relatively simple and flavorful way to make chicken, all in one skillet. The sweetness of the pear is balanced by a good dry cheese; I've listed parmesan but padano is even better. This is a good one to show off your presentation skills; a lemon twist or creatively sliced pear looks great on top.

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH SPICY PEAR CRANBERRY SAUCE



Crispy Chicken with Spicy Pear Cranberry Sauce image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

16 chicken drumettes
8 chicken legs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
Two 15-ounce cans sliced or halved pears in pear juice
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Canola oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
Cayenne pepper
1 shallot, finely chopped
Half a 15-ounce can cranberry jelly
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Arugula, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the drumettes and chicken legs into separate shallow dishes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 2 rosemary sprigs to each dish. Drain the pears and save the juice and pears. Reserve 2 tablespoons juice for the salad dressing. Pour the remaining juice from 1 can of pears over each dish and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Make the dressing by whisking together the reserved 2 tablespoons pear juice, lime juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When you are ready to fry the chicken, heat an inch of canola oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F. Put the flour into a shallow dish and season it well with cayenne, salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pat the chicken dry and coat with the flour mixture. Let them rest on a plate while the oil gets hot. Fry the chicken in batches. Drain them on paper towels and keep warm.
  • While the chicken is cooking, add the marinade to a medium pot. Pick out the rosemary sprigs, add the shallots and bring to a boil. Cook until the marinade has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the pears and cook until they are hot. Pour the mixture into a blender, add the cranberry jelly and butter, and puree carefully as it is hot. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. The mixture should be thick but pourable. If it is too thin, put it back into the pan and reduce it a bit.
  • Pour some of the spicy pear sauce onto a plate and place the chicken legs or drummettes on top. Toss the arugula with the dressing and put a small pile onto each plate.

CHICKEN WITH BRANDY SAUCE



Chicken With Brandy Sauce image

Boneless chicken breasts with a simple rich pan sauce. Extremely fast and easy to make using a basic pan sauce technique.

Provided by Scott Rhoades

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 4 pieces, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup brandy
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup Italian parsley
2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Trim fat from chicken breast halves.
  • Cut breast sections in half so that you have four roughly equal pieces.
  • Take a gallon zip top bag and cut the two edges open so that the sides are only joined at the bottom edge of the bag.
  • Place breast sections in bag one at a time and pound flat with a mallet or a flat heavy object until chicken pieces are only 1/4 to 1/2" thick.
  • Season breast sections on both sides with 1 tsp of fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.
  • Heat a frying or sauté pan to medium/medium high heat. Do NOT use a non-stick pan. You can't make decent pan sauces with Teflon. I prefer a stainless steel pan but cast iron would work (preferably enamel coated cast iron).
  • Put flour in a bowl and press breast pieces into it to coat chicken fully.
  • Add olive oil to pan and let it come up to temperature. It should only take a couple of seconds.
  • Add breast sections. Brown the chicken to a golden brown then flip and do the same on the other side. It should only take roughly 3 minutes per side or you have the chicken too thick. Do not crowd the pan. If you have to cook the chicken in batches keep the first batch warm by wrapping in aluminum foil.
  • While chicken is frying, chop Italian parsley to 1/8 cup.
  • Remove the last batch of chicken from the pan and wrap in foil to keep warm.
  • Turn up heat under pan to medium high and add chicken broth. If pan is hot enough, the broth will boil immediately. Use a wooden spoon to scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. This is where all the flavor is.
  • Add brandy, lemon juice and remaining black pepper and then reduce liquid by 1/2.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter and parsley. Stir in butter until sauce is smooth.
  • Place chicken pieces on plates and then pour the pan sauce over the chicken. Don't drown it.
  • Enjoy!
