Champagnechickenstegtkyllingmedchampagne Recipes

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts to even thickness. Sprinkle with 1/2T lemon juice and pepper to your liking.
• Melt 2T butter and olive oil. Saute chicken. About 2 minute on each side until nicely browned. Remove from pan.
• In the same pan, melt 2T butter and saute shallots until translucent. Add garlic, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan.
• Pur in chicken stock, champagne and remainder lemon juice. Bring to a boil and reduce to thin glaze. Add cream and boil for 6 minute until thick.
• Return chicken to pan and heat through. Sprinkle with chopped chives.
• Serve with white rice, wild rice or spinach fettecini.

Steps:

• Lightly dust chicken breasts with flour and a little salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, lightly brown chicken breasts to a nice golden brown in olive oil. Once browned on both sides, add mushrooms and champagne. Cook over medium heat, champagne should boil a little, for approximately 1/2 hour. When chicken is tender, transfer chicken to a platter.
• Pour cream into skillet. Simmer about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Pour sauce over chicken breasts. Serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture. Saute the chicken for 5 minutes. Turn over and add the champagne. Cook for another 12-15 minutes (if you're using thighs instead of breasts, they'll cook in less time...8-10 minutes). Add the cream and rosemary and gently stir the sauce to combine. Cook until the sauce is thickened (if the chicken is done before this point, remove and set on a serving platter, while the sauce finishes). Plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve with a hunk of bread to sop up the extra sauce and enjoy!

Steps:

• Soak a sugar cube with 2 to 3 dashes bitters. Drop the sugar cube into a chilled flute. Add 3/4 ounce brandy, if desired. Top with champagne.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add the oil. Season the chicken on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Working in batches so as to not crowd the pot, sear the chicken, skin side down, until golden brown, about 6 minutes per batch. Brown briefly on the second side, then transfer the browned chicken to a plate.
• Add the garlic to the pot and cook, stirring, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, Champagne, broth, and thyme, and return the chicken to the pot, nestling the pieces down into the liquid. Make sure some of the garlic is sitting on top of the chicken. Bring the liquid to a boil, cover the pot, and place in the oven. Cook, stirring once midway to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is falling-off-the-bone tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken and some of the garlic to a platter, and cover to keep warm. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs.
• In a medium bowl, mash the flour and butter together to form a smooth paste. Slowly whisk 1/2 cup of the hot juices from the pot into the paste until smooth, then add this mixture to the pot along with 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and whisk to combine. Don't worry if some of the garlic cloves get smashed -- they will help to thicken and enrich the sauce. Cover and cook over medium heat until the gravy has thickened, 10 to 20 minutes longer. Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, or more to taste. Serve the chicken with the gravy spooned over the top and sprinkled with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan skin side down and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. (I like it with both the Thyme and Tarragon).
• Pour half cup of champagne over breasts.
• Make a slit in each breast and insert shallot.
• Place the pan under the broiler for 3 minutes. Flip the chicken breast side up and broil for an additional 5 minutes, or until the skin is nicely browned.
• Remove the chicken from the broiler, baste with the pan juices and add the remaining half cup champagne.
• Adjust the oven temp to 475 degrees and bake the chicken for 30 minutes, basting once or twice.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and cook onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and carrots and cook until chicken is browned on all sides and carrots are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour in champagne and simmer until alcohol has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cream and chicken base and simmer until sauce has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
