A delicious one dish casserole. It's special enough for special events like bridal showers or graduation. It's an amazing dish! A local caterer uses this recipe and I found out it was in Creme de Colorado Cookbook. but I have never found it online. I've adjusted it slightly from their version to make it even better. After being asked for this recipe many time, I decided to post it. Ingredients:
1 cup white wine |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon black pepper |
3 garlic cloves |
6 large whole boneless skinless chicken breasts |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 cup milk |
2 egg yolks |
1 lemon, zest of |
1 teaspoon dried dill weed |
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley |
1 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese |
1 lb angel hair pasta, cooked al dente and kept warm |
1/2 cup shredded muenster cheese |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Pound chicken breasts slightly and place in shallow casserole or in plastic zip-lock bag, and cover with marinade. Refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
2. Discard marinade. Heat oil in skillet and saute chicken until tender. Slice and set aside.
3. In a saucepan, melt 2 T butter; blend in flour and salt to create a roux. Add mustard and slowly add milk, stirring constantly until thick and smooth. In small bowl, mix egg yolk, lemon peel and lemon juice together. Whisk a small amount of roux into egg mixture. Then whisk egg mixture into roux and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and add dill and parsley. When parsley wilts, stir in sour cream.
4. Add 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup of the egg sauce and feta cheese to cooked pasta; stir well. Place in greased 9X13 casserole, and top with sliced chicken breasts, remaining sauce and Muenster cheese. Broil until cheese is golden.
