Best Elizabethan Chicken Recipes

ELIZABETHAN CHICKEN

Elizabethan Chicken image

Chicken is surprisingly delicious when combined with fruit! This recipe makes a creamy sauce that is flavored with nutmeg instead of the traditional mace. The recipe calls for fresh ground nutmeg but I suppose you could use nutmeg from your spice shelf....just keep in mind... there is a BIG difference between the two! Once I discovered this I purchased a nutmeg grinder...and will never use nutmeg from a spice rack again..... I found this recipe in Tom Bridge's "What's Cooking.... Chicken" cookbook. You can add curry powder to the sauce (in step #5) and/or a little dry white wine or vermouth to the sauce (in step #3) for more flavors.

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
2/3 cup chicken stock

Steps:

Heat the butter and sunflower oil in a wide, flameproof casserole or skillet and quickly fry the chicken breast until golden brown, turning once.

Transfer the chicken to a serving dish.
Add grapes, cream and fresh nutmeg to the pan, heat through, and season with salt and pepper (add a little cornstarch to thicken the sauce, if desired).

CHICKEN ELIZABETH

Chicken Elizabeth image

From a Garden Club Cookbook. Submitted by someone in the Amaryllis Garden Circle from Tampa, Florida. The note says: Rumor says this was served to Queen Elizabeth during her U.S. visit. She was so pleased she asked for the recipe. Since then, it has been called "Chicken Elizabeth." I posted this recipe for those who might like this dish (and because I liked the story about the Queen) but I wanted to note that this is not a personal or family favorite.
