Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large chicken cutlets, sliced into thin paillards (slice while partially frozen)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium sweet onion, sliced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and julienned
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup beef broth
One 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1/2 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste, and lightly dredge in flour. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Brown on both sides, until nicely golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. In the same pan, add more oil, if needed, along with the onion, mushrooms and peppers and saute until softened and fragrant, but not limp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the tomato paste and cook a few minutes to cook out the raw flavor. Turn up the heat, and add the wine/wine to deglaze the pan and let it reduce for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the beef broth and tomatoes. Once the mixture begins to bubble, add the browned paillards and any juices from the chicken and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and stir in the butter. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

CHICKEN MARENGO



Chicken Marengo image

In the middle of June 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte's troops were engaged in battle with Austrian forces near the small village of Marengo in northern Italy. The battle was fierce, or so the legend has it, and Napoleon, of course, emerged victorious. And hungry. He asked his chef to prepare a meal quickly and the cook scoured the countryside looking for foods to prepare. He scurried around and discovered a chicken, olive oil, tomatoes, herbs, eggs and crawfish. Within minutes, a fire was started and the chef prepared a quick sauté of the chicken with tomatoes, oil and herbs. It is said that he garnished the dish before serving it with a fried egg and crawfish. In my version, the chicken, cut into serving pieces, is simply browned in a little olive oil (I add a touch of butter to give it flavor) on both sides. I then prefer to add sliced mushrooms (there are those who declare that truffles were among the original ingredients), seasonings, wine, tomatoes and parsley and cook covered until done, about 10 minutes longer.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3-pound chicken cut into serving pieces
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups cored and cubed red ripe tomatoes, or use canned tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down. Cook until golden brown on one side, about five minutes. Turn the pieces and cook on the other side about two minutes. Pour off the fat from the skillet.
  • Scatter the mushrooms over the chicken. Stir to distribute. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf and thyme and cook about 5 minutes.
  • Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth and parsley. Bring to the boil. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Serve with rice and a tossed green salad.

PENNE WITH CHICKEN MARENGO



Penne with Chicken Marengo image

Legend has it that Napoleon's chef created Chicken Marengo for the general after a battlefield victory. Despite its glorious history, it differs very little from a traditional peasant dish of chicken braised with tomatoes and garlic. This version is enlivened with a touch of citrus in the sauce. Served over pasta, it makes a well-rounded meal fit for a victorious soldier--or a hungry family.
