Best Chicken Potato Gratin Recipes

CHICKEN AND POTATO GRATIN WITH BROWN BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Season chicken all over with 4 tsp. salt. Place in an airtight container and cover. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Toss potatoes, shallots, and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
• Melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat (it will continue to darken) and stir in cream, garlic, pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1½ tsp. salt. Set saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until salt is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in thyme and sage; remove from heat.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in a large stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until melted and bubbling. Working in 2 batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a 13x9" or 3-qt. baking dish and arrange skin side up. Set skillet with pan drippings aside. Nestle potatoes and shallots around chicken (don't place on top). Pour brown butter cream over chicken and vegetables, making sure herbs and spices are evenly dispersed and tucking herbs into vegetables so they don't get too crispy when they bake.
• Bake gratin until cream is mostly reduced and chicken and vegetables are dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let gratin cool 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse bread in a food processor until pieces are about oat-size (you should have about 1¼ cups). Toss breadcrumbs in pan drippings in reserved skillet to coat. Cook over medium heat, scraping up browned bits with a spatula, until deep golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, top gratin with breadcrumbs. Serve lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over if desired.

POTATO GRATIN WITH CHICKEN BROTH, GARLIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• With motor running, drop garlic through the feeder tube of a food processor to mince. Scrape down sides of bowl. With motor running, add oil through feeder tube; continue to process. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in thyme and set aside. Switch to the slicing blade and slice the potatoes (or thinly slice them with a knife).
• Brush a little of the garlic oil over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Make 4 layers in this order: potatoes, a generous brushing of the oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Slowly add broth at one corner to avoid washing off garlic and herbs.
• Bake until most of the broth has been absorbed, about 45 minutes. To brown, move pan to middle rack and broil until spotty brown, about 5 minutes.
• Let rest so potatoes continue to absorb liquid, about 10 minutes. May be made ahead, held at room temperature while roast cooks, then reheated.

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil chicken in a pot of water for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through. Chicken will no longer be pink inside, and juices will run clear when done. Remove chicken from pot and place on cutting board until cool to touch.
• 2. In a hot skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Set skillet aside to reserve bacon grease. When bacon is cooled slightly, chop it into small bits. Set aside.
• 3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat until melted. Add 1/2 of the garlic and all the chopped onion. Stir well to coat with butter and bacon grease, and cook on low until onions are soft (10 to 15 minutes). Season mixture with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 of the chopped chives. (Keep the remaining chives to use as garnish later.)
• 4. When chicken has cooled enough to handle, slice into pieces and pull apart (shredding) by hand. Set aside.
• 5. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, heavy cream, 1/2 cup of parmesan, the cooked garlic, onion and chive mixture, and the remaining uncooked garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and stir ingredients to mix and coat the potatoes.
• 6. Begin placing potato slices into the dish by hand, overlapping them shingle-style against each other. (Reserve the cream left in the bowl.) When first potato layer is in place, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan, then place the shredded chicken over the potatoes to form the next layer.
• 7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon bits evenly over the shredded chicken, and layer 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese over the chicken and bacon.
• 8. Repeat the next layer with potato slices, continuing to overlap them against each other shingle-style. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan. Continue to layer all remaining potatoes and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Top the final layer with any remaining Gruyere.

BUTTER-ROASTED SUPREME OF CHICKEN WITH WILD MUSHROOM & POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• To make the gratin, peel and slice the potatoes no thicker than a 50p piece using a mandolin, if you have one. Bring the milk, cream, garlic, herbs and some seasoning to the boil in a large saucepan, then turn down the heat and simmer for a few mins.
• Slip the potatoes into the hot milk mixture and simmer for 10 mins until just cooked. Drain the potatoes in a colander over a bowl to catch the liquid - reserve the milk. While the potatoes are simmering, heat half the butter in a frying pan until foaming. Fry the mushrooms for 2 mins until just wilted, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Rub 2 small gratin dishes (or 1 medium) with the remaining butter, sprinkle over the thyme leaves and grate over some of the cheese. Fill the dishes halfway with potato slices, moisten with a little milk and grate over more cheese. Fill up the dishes with potato slices, add enough milk to cover, then top with the mushrooms and the rest of the cheese.
• For the chicken, mix about two-thirds of the butter with the lemon zest and half the juice, the parsley, paprika and some salt and pepper. Lift the skin slightly away from each breast, spread or pipe the flavoured butter under the skin, then stretch the skin back over. Chill up to a day in advance, if you like.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the remaining butter in an ovenproof frying pan until foaming. Pan-fry the chicken, basting constantly with the butter until starting to brown. Add the shallot, garlic, thyme and stock. Place the chicken, skin-side up in its pan, on the higher shelf of the oven, and the gratins on the lower shelf. Roast both for 25-30 mins, then remove the chicken and rest for 15 mins, while the gratins continue to cook.
• To finish, remove the chicken from the pan. Place the pan back on the heat, squeeze over the remaining lemon juice and bring everything to a hard boil. Pass the sauce through a sieve, pressing down firmly on all the soft shallot and garlic. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in another frying pan and reheat the leeks until they start to colour. With the gratins cooked, you are now ready to plate up.
• Line six leeks up in a row in the middle of each plate. Carve the chicken on a slant into five thick slices. Neatly fan out each chicken breast over the leeks. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and around the leeks, and serve with the potato gratin.
