Chicken With Winey Mushrooms And Polenta Recipes

CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM AND POLENTA

Steps:

• Soak the dried mushrooms in warm water. Clean the champignons and cut them into slices. Wash the chicken and divide it into 8 pieces. Thoroughly wash the giblets and mince them. Fry the chicken for 6-7 minutes in a saucepan with the butter, adding salt and pepper to taste. Remove the chicken from the pan and use the pan to fry the sliced onion, the garlic clove, peel still on and crushed, and 1 tablespoon minced parsley. Put the chicken back in the pan, add a splash of white wine and let it evaporate for 3-4 minutes, then add the giblets, the minced salami,
• the soaked mushrooms and a ladle of broth and continue cooking for 45 minutes. Finally, add the champignons, cook for another 5 minutes, remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons minced parsley.
• For the polenta: boil 6 cups water with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt. Slowly pour in the cornmeal, mixing with a whisk. Cook the polenta for 40-45 minutes, whisking often. Pour the cooked polenta into a serving platter. Set the pieces of chicken on the polenta, top them with the sauce and serve immediately.

BREAST OF CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY AND POLENTA WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Begin by cleaning and marinating the chicken in 6 ounces of the olive oil, fresh rosemary, and a pinch of salt for approximately 4 hours.
• To prepare the polenta, bring the salted water to a boil. Once the water has boiled, sprinkle the polenta flour in the water and beat with a whisk. Lower the heat and cook for about 40 minutes until the polenta falls away from the sides of the pan. It is hard to determine the exact amount of water as it depends on the quality of the polenta flour. If it becomes hard, add hot water until the polenta softens and can be stirred.
• To cook the chicken, remove it from the marinade, dust the chicken breasts with flour, place them in a pan, add the white wine, and cook on high heat for 10 minutes, flipping on each side.
• At the same time the chicken is cooking, using another pan, heat the remaining 3 ounces of olive oil. Add the rosemary sprigs to flavor the oil. Take the rosemary out and add the porcini mushrooms and salt. Cook for 5 minutes and then add the chopped parsley.
• To serve, place the chicken on a plate and add some of the sauce from the pan. On the side place some polenta and top it with some of the porcini mushrooms. To garnish, sprinkle some parsley and add a sprig of rosemary.

CHICKEN WITH WINEY MUSHROOMS AND POLENTA

Steps:

• First, prepare the polenta. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a lidded baking dish, whisk together 3 cups water, the cornmeal,
• 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover, and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and add the milk and butter, and whisk until smooth.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
• Add the chicken; cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour the wine into the skillet; cook, stirring until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and parsley; cook over medium high heat until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has reduced, about 8 to 10 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover; simmer over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve chicken and polenta topped with the mushroom mixture.

CHICKEN WITH WINE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Season chicken breast as desired. I like salt and pepper but you could add any dried herbs you like as well. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown chicken breasts on both sides. Cover and cook until juices run clear. About 6-10 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove chicken and keep warm. If you find you need more oil use some cooking spray instead if you want to keep the fat and calories down.
• In the same skillet using the oil that remains, sauté mushrooms until tender. Add garlic and onions- green and white parts- and cook for a few minutes just to get them aromatic and cooked a little. About 2-3 minutes.
• Add butter and when it's melted stir in wine or broth- I recommend wine! -. (Personally I use one cup broth and one cup wine. I like Pinot Grigio but anything that isn't sweet is good!).
• In a small cup combine water and cornstarch and stir until smooth and dissolved. Add to skillet when broth starts to bubble.
• Cook and stir, keeping it just at a bubble until desired thickness. About 2-3 minutes.
• Return chicken to pan and heat through. Taste for seasoning and add some salt and pepper to taste if desired.
• Serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.
• NOTE: If you want even more sauce add 1 more cup of chicken broth to the wine or broth in step 3. Want the sauce thicker? Add more cornstarch in step 4.
