Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon essence, recipe follows |
2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces |
1/2 dry bread crumbs |
1/4 cup grated parmesan |
1 tablespoon melted butter |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
6 ounces andouille sausage, chopped |
1 cup chopped yellow onions |
1 tablespoon minced garlic |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne |
4 ounces mushrooms, stems trimmed, wiped clean, and sliced |
6 boiled artichoke hearts, sliced 1/2-inch thick |
1 1/2 cups chicken stock |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
3 tablespoons chopped green onions |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves |
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon leaves |
toasted sliced french bread, accompaniment |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a heavy plastic bag, combine the flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Essence. Add the chicken and toss until well coated. Shake to remove any excess breading and reserve the remaining flour.
3. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, remaining Essence, cheese, and butter and set aside.
4. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches as necessary and cook until browned on each side, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
5. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until almost browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, and cayenne and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and give off their liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved flour and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken, artichokes, stock, cream, green onions, parsley, and tarragon, stir, and bring to a boil. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top and bake until bubbly and the top has a golden crust, about 25 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and serve hot over toasted French bread.
