Pollo Alla Amerene Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in large frying pan. Saute chicken and onion until chicken is no longer pink & onions are translucent.
• Add cream, mushrooms, paprika & chicken base.
• Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is tender.
• Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Mixture will be somewhat thin, but should be a creamy texture like the consistency of a white sauce.
• Serve hot with warmed flour tortillas and Spanish Rice.

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a large bowl with crushed garlic, 1 tablespoon rosemary, salt, and pepper. Pour beer over top and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle cornstarch over the chicken to coat it completely. Reserve the marinade.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Add onion. Remove garlic from the marinade and add to the Dutch oven with a bit of marinade to keep everything from burning. Saute until onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add remaining marinade and remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary. Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened and the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• 1. Separate the chicken breasts into halves and pound lightly between sheets of plastic wrap. Dredge in flour.
• 2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon butter and 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot. Cook 2 of the chicken breasts at a time, about 3 minutes per side until cooked. Season with a little freshly grated nutmeg, salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• 3. Remove the second batch of chicken from the pan and keep warm. Add the onion to the pan and saute 3 minutes. Add the white wine and vermouth; bring to a boil. Add the cream. Put the chicken back into the pan and simmer a few minutes until thickened. Add cherries and juice. Simmer 2 minutes and serve, garnished with a little parsley if desired.
• Note: Bottled Amarene cherries can be found at DeLaurenti Italian market, but are very expensive. A good substitute would be sour cherries in syrup, also available at DeLaurenti.
