Jellied Chicken Loaf Recipes

PEPPER JELLY GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F).
• Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish so they are not crowded. In a cup or small bowl, mix together the pepper jelly, mustard and honey; pour over chicken to coat.
• Bake uncovered for about 1 hour, basting occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink, and the juices run clear.

JELLIED CHICKEN AND CORIANDER "TERRINE"

Steps:

• In a 3-quart saucepan simmer broth, Sherry, soy sauce, gingerroot, scallions, star anise, and salt, covered, 25 minutes. Add chicken and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Cool chicken in liquid, uncovered, 1 hour.
• Transfer chicken to a bowl, reserving cooking liquid, and tear into thin shreds. Chill chicken, covered, while making aspic.
• Pour reserved cooking liquid through a fine sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into a bowl. Measure liquid and add enough cold water (about 1/2 cup) to measure 3 cups total. Return liquid to cleaned pan.
• In a small bowl sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water to soften. Stir gelatin mixture into cooking liquid and heat over moderate heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved (do not boil).
• Toss chicken with coriander and arrange evenly in a 2-quart terrine or loaf pan. Pour aspic slowly over chicken mixture. Chill terrine, covered, until firm, at least 6 hours, and up to 2 days.
• Make sauce:
• In a small bowl stir together hoisin sauce and vinegar until smooth.
• Run a thin knife around edge of terrine and dip terrine or pan into a larger pan of hot water 10 seconds to loosen. Invert terrine onto a platter and serve with sauce and pickled ginger. Terrine will be quite fragile: If slicing, use an electric knife; otherwise, serve with a spoon.

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken, celery leaves, onion, salt. ginger, peppercorns and the 2 cups water in a large saucepan; cover. Heat to boiling, then simmer 1 hour or until chicken is tender.

• 4. Pour into a 6-cup bowl or mold; chill until as thick as unbeaten egg white.
• 5. While gelatin mixture chills, remove chicken from bones; chop meat very fine. (There should be about 2 1/4 cups.) Stir into chilled gelatin mixture with celery and walnuts. Chill several hours, or until firm.
• 6. Just before serving, run a sharp-tip, thin-blade knife around top of bowl or mold, then dip bowl very quickly in and out of a pan of hot water. Invert onto serving plate; carefully lift off bowl. Garnish with crisp lettuce and sliced tomatoes, and serve with crusty French bread or toasted hard rolls.
