Shiitake Crusted Chicken With Spinach Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Coat a large saute pan or large stovetop grill pan with cooking spray. Season both sides of chicken with salt and black pepper. Place chicken on prepared pan and cook until golden brown on each side and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine spinach, mayonnaise, vermouth, horseradish, lemon juice, and parsley. Process until blended and smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Spoon sauce over half of the chicken. Reserve remaining chicken for another recipe.
• Serve half (2 cups) of the rice with this meal and reserve remaining rice for another recipe. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Prepare coating:
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a shallow baking pan drizzle oil over shiitakes and toss to coat. Roast mushrooms, stirring once or twice, 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Keep oven at 450°F.
• Mince roasted shiitake and in a shallow bowl stir together with bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Have ready in separate shallow bowls seasoned flour and egg.
• Working with 1 chicken breast at a time, dredge in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat chicken with mushroom mixture, gently knocking off excess, and transfer to a plate. Chicken may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and chilled, uncovered, on a rack.
• In a 12-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté chicken until golden, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer chicken with tongs to baking pan and roast in middle of oven 10 minutes, or until just cooked through.
• Make creamed mushrooms while chicken is roasting:
• Wipe out skillet and cook shallot in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add shiitake and salt and pepper to taste and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until mushrooms are softened and browned lightly. Stir in wine, vinegar, and rosemary and boil until all liquid is evaporated. Add cream and simmer, stirring, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Season mixture with salt and pepper.
• Serve chicken with creamed mushrooms.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wash chicken thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Place chicken quarters into a baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, white pepper, garlic, and paprika. Rub these ingredients into the chicken. Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the baking dish. Bake in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until almost done. Remove from oven and add chicken stock. Add onions and mushrooms, which can be pre-sauteed, if desired. Add flour and stir to remove as many lumps as possible. Bake in oven until sauce thickens to desired preference, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Remove chicken and check temperature which should be above 180 degrees F.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the chicken breasts, the mushrooms and the onions. Cook about 5 minutes over medium heat or until lightly browned. Turn the pieces and cook 5 minutes more, shaking the pan and turning the mushrooms and onions so they brown evenly. Remove chicken breasts, and keep them warm. Pour off fat from the pan.
• Add the rosemary and shallots and cook briefly, until wilted. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the skillet.
• When the wine is almost reduced by half, blend in the chicken broth. Continue cooking and when the sauce is reduced by half, stir in the butter. Remove pan from stove immediately. Pour sauce over chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
