CHICKEN MARENGO



Chicken Marengo image

Basil lovers rejoice! The sauce in this recipe is gravy-like and the light coating on the chicken makes this light dish seem so rich. Said to be the meal that Napoleon at after defeating the Austrians in 1800, this recipe is named after the Italian town of Marengo where the skirmish took place. Napoleon liked it so much, he declared that the savory chicken breast should be served after every battle.

NAPOLEON'S CHICKEN MARENGO



Napoleon's Chicken Marengo image

Chicken Marengo has been subjected to its authenticity over the years and my personal determination is it's a concept not a true recipe. It is said Chef Dunand prepared this dish for Napoleon by quickly soliciting ingredients from local farmers after the June 1800 Win against the Austrians in Marengo, Italy (which is said to become his "lucky" dish). In fact, that same evening N seized Gen. Kellerman's dinner (not this dish), which had been donated by a local monastery. CD didn't go to work for Napoleon until 1801 and was in Russia in June, 1800. N enjoyed chicken ala provencale often for breakfast, which could be the starter base to the CM recipe, C D recorded recipe in 1809. The use of mushrooms, truffles, garlic, black olives, white wine, seasonings, etc. have been other chef's interpretation or personal preferences. Crawfish and French fried eggs were indeed part of the original recipe, but one or both have been left out or substituted throughout the years. I've written a recipe as close to the original, while making it 21st Century user friendly.
