Time 2h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 1 pound)
1 cup dry white wine
Peel of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, peeled and quartered with root end attached
2 bay leaves
About 1 quart water
2 large or 3 to 4 medium leeks
6 slices good quality lean bacon or a 4-ounce hunk pancetta, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 to 3 ribs celery, chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup gemelli pasta or short cut fusilli pasta
A handful fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the chicken, wine, lemon peel, onion and 1 bay leaf in a small pot. Add about 1 quart of water or enough to cover the top of the chicken meat, bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and gently poach until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cool the chicken until it is easy to handle, then dice or shred. Strain and reserve about 5 cups of the poaching liquid.
  • Trim the leeks and halve lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch half-moons, wash in the sink or large bowl filled with cold water. Dry the leeks on a clean kitchen towel and reserve.

Cook's Note: If there's more than a couple of tablespoons in the pot, then add 1 bay leaf, carrots, celery, leeks, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook 12 to 15 minutes covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and tomatoes burst. Add the cooked chicken, stock and reserved poaching liquid to the soup, heat through then cool completely and cover, store for make-ahead meal.
  • To reheat the soup: Place the soup in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then add the pasta and cook to al dente, stir in the fresh herb of your choice and serve. If the soup is too thick, add a little water.

FRIED CHICKEN BLT MELT



Fried Chicken BLT Melt image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 leftover poached boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
4 slices bacon
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 soft sandwich buns, split
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons hot sauce
4 deli slices Cheddar
2 pieces iceberg lettuce
2 slices beefsteak tomato

Steps:

  • For the honey mustard sauce: Mix together the mustard, honey and mayonnaise in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the fried chicken BLT melt: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Remove the poached chicken from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
  • Lay the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Add 1 1/2 inches of oil to a high-sided cast-iron skillet (making sure you are below halfway) and heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F. While waiting for the oil to heat, toast the buns in the still-warm oven.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper in a baking dish. In a separate baking dish, whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. Dredge the chicken through the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, then through the flour. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Cover the chicken pieces immediately with the cheese slices so they can begin to melt.
  • Spread the cut sides of the buns with the honey mustard sauce. Add 2 pieces of fried chicken to each bottom bun, and top with 2 pieces of bacon, a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato and more sauce if desired. Sandwich the buns together and enjoy.
