CHICKEN WELLINGTON RECIPE BY TASTY



Chicken Wellington Recipe by Tasty image

"Fancy" doesn't have to mean "expensive." This elegant chicken Wellington can be made with pantry ingredients so you can save money without skimping on flavor! In this recipe, we use chicken breast instead of the traditional beef tenderloin, wrapped in puff pastry, sautéed mushrooms, and dried herbs and spices to recreate that classic Wellington flavor. You'll even learn how to make your own easy pan gravy from scratch.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h55m

Yield 2 serving

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 oz cremini mushroom, stemmed and wiped clean
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 boneless chicken breast, large
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
4 slices prosciutto
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried parsley

Steps:

  • Add the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 18-20 pulses.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and stir to fully combine. Cook, stirring often, until all of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl to cool. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
  • Season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Tie the chicken breast with 4 pieces of butcher's twine to create an even cylindrical shape.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast and cook until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken breast to a plate and set the pan aside to make the pan gravy later.
  • Remove the butcher's twine using a pair of scissors and brush the chicken all over with the Dijon mustard. Allow the chicken breast to cool to room temperature.
  • On 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap, lay out the puff pastry sheet. Arrange overlapping strips of prosciutto over the dough in an even square, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the prosciutto.
  • Place the chicken breast at the bottom of the mushroom mixture and tightly and evenly wrap with the prosciutto and puff pastry, using the plastic wrap to help wrap it tightly and seal the ends. Wrap in the plastic, tying the ends together to help keep the Wellington's shape. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the Wellington from the plastic wrap and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a paring knife, make a crosshatch pattern on top of the pastry, making sure not to cut all the way through. Brush the pastry all over with the beaten egg.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the Wellington rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-1½-inch-thick slices.
  • While the Wellington rests, make the pan gravy: In the pan with the leftover chicken juices, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and parsley and transfer to a bowl or gravy boat to serve.
  • Serve the Wellington warm with the pan gravy and sides of your choice.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN & MUSHROOM WELLINGTON



Chicken & mushroom wellington image

Make a celebration supper for two with this chicken and mushroom wellington. Cut into golden pastry to find a creamy, garlicky inside - perfection

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
320g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp butter
100g chestnut or button mushrooms, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp thyme leaves
½ lemon, juiced
100g low-fat soft cheese
1 tsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard

Steps:

  • To make the filling, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until sizzling, then fry the mushrooms for 8 mins until soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic, thyme and lemon juice, turn the heat up to medium-high and cook for 1 min more until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Season, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Tip the mixture into a bowl with the soft cheese and mustard, then beat everything together with a wooden spoon. Put in the fridge while you prepare the chicken. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.
  • Lay the chicken breasts out on a board, open out slightly, then bash gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness. Season and set aside. Unravel the pastry sheet and cut out a 16cm rectangle and an 18cm one. Lay the smaller rectangle on a sheet of baking parchment and brush with a little of the beaten egg. Lay one of the chicken breasts on top, smooth-side down. Spoon over the mushroom mixture and top with the second breast, smooth-side up, so the thicker sides of the breasts are at opposite ends to each other. Brush the exposed pastry border and the top of the chicken with more of the beaten egg, then drape over the larger pastry rectangle and tuck it in so the chicken is snugly enclosed. Trim the excess pastry into an oval, leaving a 4cm border, then crimp the border with a fork to seal. Re-roll any trimmings and use them to decorate the wellington, if you like (see tip, below). Chill for at least 1 hr or up to 24 hrs.
  • Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½ with a baking tray inside. Brush the wellington all over with most of the remaining beaten egg. Carefully lift it on its baking parchment onto the hot baking tray and bake for 25 mins, then brush with the remaining beaten egg and season with sea salt. Bake for another 10-15 mins until light golden brown. Rest for 5 mins before carefully carving in half.

FREE-RANGE CHICKEN WELLINGTON STACK WITH CRISP POTATOES



Free-Range Chicken Wellington Stack with Crisp Potatoes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole free-range chicken, divided into 2 boneless breasts, 2 wings, 2 legs and 2 thighs, Reserve carcass for sauce
2 cups chicken stock
2 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced lengthwise
8 ounces white truffle pate
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems reserved and caps thinly sliced
Vegetable oil, for frying
Whole, unsalted butter
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
Duxelle, recipe follows
1 shallot, finely chopped
Whole, unsalted butter, for sauteing
1 portobello mushroom, chopped
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons parsley leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine cold water (enough to cover the chicken breasts) and 2 tablespoons salt. Place the divided chicken pieces in the salted water (brine) and let stand for approximately 45 minutes. Remove the chicken pieces from the brine and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Slice each breast on the bias into 4 thin slices. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Pan sear the chicken about 1 minute on each side until golden. Remove from heat.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium skillet on medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and saute until crispy. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Cut a small hole in the middle of each raw potato slice for the rosemary "pick." Pour at least 2 inches of oil in a medium pot and heat until the oil begins to smoke. Carefully place the potato slices in the oil 2 or 3 at a time. Turn potatoes occasionally so they brown evenly. Remove the potatoes when they are tender/crisp and allow the excess oil to drain on a paper towel. Season, to taste, with salt.
  • Pour 2 cups of chicken stock into a medium pot. Add the chicken carcass, shiitake mushroom stems, marjoram and sage. Let simmer until reduced by 1/2. Strain the reduced stock with cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan and place on low heat. Add the gelatin from the pate to the pan and stir until it dissolves. Gently stir in 2 tablespoons of butter. Do not boil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Place a crispy potato slice on each plate. Top each potato with 1 slice of chicken. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of duxelle onto the chicken. Using a sharp knife, slice a thin piece of pate and place on top of the duxelles. Place a second potato slice on top of the duxelle and repeat the process for each plate. Top each stack with the third slice of potato. Secure the stack with a "pick" of rosemary (take a 4-inch piece of rosemary and gently remove the bottom 2 to 3 inches of leaves, leaving 1 to 2 inches of rosemary leaves on each pick).
  • Cook the shallots in butter in a medium sized pan, on low heat. Add the chopped mushroom to the shallots and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms render liquid. Remove from the pan and puree the mixture in a food processor.
  • Return the pureed mushroom mixture to the pan. Add heavy cream. Reduce the cream until the mixture is pasty.
  • Remove from heat and add parsley and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

TWISTED CHICKEN WELLINGTON



Twisted Chicken Wellington image

This recipe is based off of http://www.recipezaar.com/Chicken-Wellington-Puff-Pastry-Wrapped-Chicken-149540 but as I and my family have a severe aversion to mushrooms, I edited it a bit. I also ran out of patience and decided to tear up my chicken and just mix everything to gether about half way through and have found that not only is it much easier but also IMHO better. Due to running out of puff pastry I have aso found that this recipe is very good stuffed into egg roll wrappers. Cooking and Prep time is a rough estimate.
