Chicken With Beau Monde Seasoning Recipes

BREAST OF CHICKEN BEAU MONDE

Steps:

• Saute mushrooms in 3 tablespoons of the margarine and remove the mushrooms; set aside.
• Add remaining margarine to the skillet and saute the chicken until brown.
• Sprinkle with Beau Monde seasoning while browning.
• Add green onions, wine, and tarragon.
• Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until tender.
• Remove chicken to a serving platter.
• Stir in the sour cream and mushrooms into the sauce in the pan.
• Pour over the chicken and serve with rice or noodles.

BEST CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Choose a heavy pot or Dutch oven with a tightfitting lid. It should be large enough to hold the chicken snugly, but not much bigger. Fill pot about 2/3 full with cold water, but don't put the chicken in yet. Boil some extra water in a teakettle.
• Add scallions and peppercorns to water, cover and bring to a rolling boil. Turn off heat and slip chicken pieces into the hot water. If needed, add boiling water from the kettle to cover chicken with water by 2 inches. Replace the lid and let chicken rest in the hot water for about 2 hours. Do not turn the flame back on: The pot will retain enough heat to cook chicken thoroughly and safely. (To test, cut into 1 piece of chicken and check the meat near the bone. If it is still pink, return the pot to low heat, bring the water to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes more.)
• Lift chicken out of the pot. Remove and discard bones, skin and fat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then cut or shred into small bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. (Meanwhile, simmer cooking liquid until tasty, strain and refrigerate or freeze to use as chicken stock.)
• In a bowl, whisk together juice of 1/2 lemon, mayonnaise and sour cream. If using, whisk in mustard or brine. Taste and adjust the seasonings and thickness to your liking. Pour over chicken, scraping the bowl clean with a rubber spatula.
• Add celery, onion if using, nuts, herbs and salt and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with herbs before serving.

DIY SPICE ESSENTIALS: BEAU MONDE SEASONING MIX

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. If you have a spice, or coffee grinder, it will help you finely grind the spices.

• 4. Combine all the ingredients, in a spice blender, and mix until completely ground, then place into a airtight container until needed.

ROASTED CHICKEN (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• 1. Remove the giblets from the chicken. Remove as much skin as possible. Rinse and drain the chicken; pat dry inside and out with paper towels. Mix all the seasonings with the olive oil to make a paste. Spread a little of the seasoning paste inside the cavity. Place the chicken, breast side up, in the crock pot. Spread the remaining seasoning over the top of the chicken.
• 2. Cover and cook on the high heat setting 3 to 3 1/2 hours (6 1/2 to 7 1/2 on low), or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
• 3. Cut into pieces and serve immediately. Or cool slightly, remove from bones, and use in casseroles, soups, salads. Reserve the juices in the bottom of the pot, then use in making soups or sauces.
