CHICKEN BONNE FEMME (JULIA CHILD)



Chicken Bonne Femme (Julia Child) image

Casserole-roasted chicken with potatoes and bacon, adapted from Julia Child's recipe, posted here for safekeeping. Small new potatoes may be used instead of the boiling potatoes. This is a one-dish meal, but Julia suggests serving broiled tomatoes alongside for color. The preparation time is an estimate.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb piece bacon
4 tablespoons butter
3 lbs roasting chickens, trussed and buttered
15 -25 peeled white onions (about 1-inch diameter)
1 -1 1/2 lb boiling potato
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium bouquet garni, made with 4 parsley sprig, 1/2 bay leaf, and 1/4 teaspoon thyme

Steps:

  • To make the herb bouquet: tie the parsley, bay leaf and thyme together in washed cheesecloth.
  • Remove the rind and cut the bacon into strips 1/2 inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long.
  • In 2 quarts water, simmer the bacon for 10 minutes. Rinse in cold water and dry.
  • In a fireproof casserole, saute the bacon for 2 to 3 minutes in 1 tablespoon of the butter until lightly browned. Transfer to a dish.
  • Brown the chicken in the hot fat, breast side down. Brown for 2 minutes, regulating heat so the butter is always very hot but not burning.
  • Turn the chicken on another side using 2 wooden spoons or a towel. Continue browning and turning the chicken until it is a nice golden color almost all over, particularly on the breast and legs. This will take 10 to 15 minutes. Add more oil, if necessary, to keep the bottom of the casserole filmed.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan. Pour the fat out of the casserole. Set the oven at 325 degrees (F.).
  • Drop the onions into boiling, salted water and boil slowly for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Peel the potatoes and trim them into uniform ovals about 2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Drain immediately.
  • In the casserole, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter until foaming. Add the potatoes and roll them around over moderate heat for 2 minutes to evaporate their moisture; this will prevent their sticking to the casserole. Spread them in the pan.
  • Salt the chicken and place it breast up in the casserole.
  • Place the bacon and onions on the potatoes and add the herb bouquet.
  • Baste all the ingredients with the butter in the casserole.
  • Lay a piece of aluminum foil over the chicken, and cover the casserole.
  • Heat the casserole on top of the stove until the contents are sizzling. Transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour and 10 to 20 minutes or until the chicken leg registers 180 degrees (F.) on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Baste once or twice with the juices in the pan.

WEIGHT WATCHERS CHICKEN STROGANOFF FOR THE CROCK POT - 4 POINTS



Weight Watchers Chicken Stroganoff for the Crock Pot - 4 Points image

This is one of the many recipes that I wrote down while attending my Weight Watchers meetings. Very easy to throw together in the morning and have a wonderful meal when you get home from work. The original recipe calls for 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup but I prefer the chicken. Either one can be used interchangeably.
