This is a decadent recipe, with classic French foundation. I am uncertain as to the source of this recipe, so if it is a direct copy of someone's, please forgive the unintended copy. This could be considered a splurge low-carb recipe, as it is high in fat. In keeping with the Medi Acute Phase / and low carb plans Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (incredible with skin, but higher fat) |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
2/3 cup dry vermouth |
1/2 cup chicken broth (or stock) |
3 ounces goat cheese, soft and mild (( at room temp, prefer montrachet) |
1/4 cup creme fraiche (or sub sour cream or a combo of 2t heavy cream and 2t sour cream- i used this mix) |
1/4 cup chives, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. ((((If desired for the non-low carbers eating w/ you- prepare 2 large red skinned potatoes, peeled, boiled in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes, drained and reserved- keep warm)))).
2. Melt butter on medium in large heavy skillet.
3. Season chicken w/ salt & pepper.
4. Place skin side down in hot skillet, add onion and garlic. Cook skin side down w/out messing with it for about 8-10 minutes, skin should be brown.
5. Turn chicken, cook 2-3 minutes more.
6. Add vermouth and stock to skillet.
7. Cover and simmer until chicken appears to be cooked through, 5-10 minutes, depending upon size of pieces.
8. Transfer chicken to baking dish, set aside.
9. (Preheat broiler for final step now- I use toaster oven broiler for this).
10. Boil liquid in skillet until thickened to sauce consistency, about 15 minutes.
11. Reduce heat to medium-low, add goat cheese and stir 'til smooth and melted.
12. Add crème fraiche or the substitute.
13. Taste and season w/ salt and pepper.
14. Broil chicken skin side up until browned, about 5minutes.
15. To serve: place chicken on plate, top with sauce. For non low-carbers, place potatoes down first, then chicken on top of potatoes, then sauce on top of chicken.
