Chicken Potato Au Gratin Recipes

CREAMY POACHED CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS TIPS AND CRISPY POTATOES AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Put the chicken into a large pot. Pour over the wine and chicken stock. Add water if necessary so the chicken is covered. Add the carrots, celery and onions and season with salt and pepper. Put over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let is sit for 30 minutes so the chicken finishes cooking. Remove the chicken from the pot and keep warm, reserving the poaching liquid.
• Strain 2 cups of the poaching liquid into a medium pot over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce the liquid by half. Whisk in the cream and reduce by half again. Cover and keep warm.
• Strain 1 cup of the poaching liquid into another medium pot over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the asparagus tips. Cook until they are just tender and bright green, about 1 minute. Drain and keep warm.
• When ready to serve, toast the bread and spread it with 2 of the tablespoons butter. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the cream sauce. Place the toast onto a plate, top with a chicken quarter and ladle some cream sauce over it. Garnish with chives. Serve with asparagus tips and Crispy Potatoes au Gratin.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 4 shallow ovenproof ramekins with the softened butter.
• Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. Fan a layer of potatoes into the ramekins. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over 2 tablespoons cheese. Add another layer of potato and season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over 2 more tablespoons cheese. Put the ramekins onto a baking sheet and pour the cream over the potatoes in each dish. Dot with the cold butter. Bake until brown and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.

CHICKEN POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Boil chicken in a pot of water for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through. Chicken will no longer be pink inside, and juices will run clear when done. Remove chicken from pot and place on cutting board until cool to touch.
• 2. In a hot skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel. Set skillet aside to reserve bacon grease. When bacon is cooled slightly, chop it into small bits. Set aside.
• 3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat until melted. Add 1/2 of the garlic and all the chopped onion. Stir well to coat with butter and bacon grease, and cook on low until onions are soft (10 to 15 minutes). Season mixture with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in about 3/4 of the chopped chives. (Keep the remaining chives to use as garnish later.)
• 4. When chicken has cooled enough to handle, slice into pieces and pull apart (shredding) by hand. Set aside.
• 5. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, heavy cream, 1/2 cup of parmesan, the cooked garlic, onion and chive mixture, and the remaining uncooked garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and stir ingredients to mix and coat the potatoes.
• 6. Begin placing potato slices into the dish by hand, overlapping them shingle-style against each other. (Reserve the cream left in the bowl.) When first potato layer is in place, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of parmesan, then place the shredded chicken over the potatoes to form the next layer.
• 7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon bits evenly over the shredded chicken, and layer 1/2 cup of Gruyere cheese over the chicken and bacon.
• 8. Repeat the next layer with potato slices, continuing to overlap them against each other shingle-style. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan. Continue to layer all remaining potatoes and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Top the final layer with any remaining Gruyere.
• 9. From the bowl, pour the cream and its ingredients over all ingredients in the baking dish, making sure to coat all layers evenly. Cover dish with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake an additional 30 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining chopped chives.

CHICKEN AND POTATO GRATIN WITH BROWN BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Season chicken all over with 4 tsp. salt. Place in an airtight container and cover. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Toss potatoes, shallots, and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
• Melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat (it will continue to darken) and stir in cream, garlic, pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1½ tsp. salt. Set saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until salt is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in thyme and sage; remove from heat.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in a large stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until melted and bubbling. Working in 2 batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a 13x9" or 3-qt. baking dish and arrange skin side up. Set skillet with pan drippings aside. Nestle potatoes and shallots around chicken (don't place on top). Pour brown butter cream over chicken and vegetables, making sure herbs and spices are evenly dispersed and tucking herbs into vegetables so they don't get too crispy when they bake.
• Bake gratin until cream is mostly reduced and chicken and vegetables are dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let gratin cool 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse bread in a food processor until pieces are about oat-size (you should have about 1¼ cups). Toss breadcrumbs in pan drippings in reserved skillet to coat. Cook over medium heat, scraping up browned bits with a spatula, until deep golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, top gratin with breadcrumbs. Serve lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over if desired.

• In a bowl, mix together the garlic, sour cream, 1/4 cup of the milk, onion, peas and mustard.
• Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper.

POTATO GRATIN WITH CHICKEN BROTH, GARLIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• With motor running, drop garlic through the feeder tube of a food processor to mince. Scrape down sides of bowl. With motor running, add oil through feeder tube; continue to process. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in thyme and set aside. Switch to the slicing blade and slice the potatoes (or thinly slice them with a knife).
• Brush a little of the garlic oil over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch (or similar size) baking dish. Make 4 layers in this order: potatoes, a generous brushing of the oil, a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Slowly add broth at one corner to avoid washing off garlic and herbs.
• Bake until most of the broth has been absorbed, about 45 minutes. To brown, move pan to middle rack and broil until spotty brown, about 5 minutes.
• Let rest so potatoes continue to absorb liquid, about 10 minutes. May be made ahead, held at room temperature while roast cooks, then reheated.
