Poached Chicken In Olive Oil Garlic And Green Peppercorn Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with hot water; add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the fennel wedges and carrots. Bring to a boil; cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Reduce the heat to low.
• Add the garlic, scallions, fennel fronds and chicken to the pot and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Fill a bowl with salted ice water. Transfer the chicken to the ice water using tongs; let sit 30 seconds, then remove to a cutting board.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic, scallions and fennel fronds to a blender; add 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the green beans to the pot, remove from the heat and let sit 5 minutes; drain.
• Add the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, parsley and basil to the blender and puree; season with pepper. Cut the chicken into pieces and serve with the vegetables; drizzle with the herb sauce.

Steps:

• Add olive oil to pan after removing beef. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme; saute for 1 to 2 minutes, then, off heat, add brandy and flambe using a long kitchen match. After flame dies down, return to the heat, add stock and reduce by about half. Strain out solids, then add 2 cups cream and mustard. Reduce by half again, then shut off heat and add green peppercorns.

Steps:

• Place garlic and ½ cup of olive oil into food processor and process until garlic in finely chopped. Pour into large bowl. Whisk in the rest of the ingredients except chicken.
• Have a cutting board and knife ready. In a large sauté pan and in a single layer, poach the chicken in enough salted water to just cover the pieces. As the pieces appear done, Remove to cutting board and slice across the grain into 1 inch pieces. If they appear a little pink, return to the water for a few seconds.
• Place the sliced pieces immediately into the olive oil mixture and stir to coat.
• Notes.
• Can be made in advance, the dish gets better as it ages up to 5 days. Refrigerate to store, but serve at room temperature.
• If you want to increase the recipe, you don't necessarily have to increase the marinade at the same rate. If you triple the chicken, you can probably double the marinade.
• We like lots of garlic and used more.
• The cooking time for the chicken will vary with the size breast you use, you may need 30 minutes, I like to use a thermometer and cook to 180 degrees.

Steps:

• Blanching: Bring a small saucepan of water to a low boil. Separate the cloves from 1 head of garlic, leaving the skins on, and drop into water for 5 minutes. Remove and drain. Store, skin on, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Poaching: In a small cast-iron pot, bring 1 cup olive oil to a very low simmer on a grill or in a wood-fired oven and drop peeled cloves from 1 head of garlic in to cook for 10 minutes. Remove, drain, let cool, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reserve the poaching oil and use as a flavoring or finishing oil.
• Roasting: Garlic is easy to roast and develops much more flavor in a wood-fired environment. Simply cut the top off a whole head of garlic to expose the cloves and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Place in a small clay cooker or cast-iron pot or an aluminum-foil packet and place in the wood-fired oven or on a covered grill to roast until soft to the touch, about 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Toasting: Toast the skin-on cloves from 1 head of garlic in a dry skillet over high heat until the skins are slightly browned. You are toasting but not cooking the garlic. Slice or mince the garlic as called for in the recipe. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
