Poulet Roti with Thyme and Morel-Madeira GravyPoulet roti is nothing but a dressed up French way of saying "roasted
chicken." Want to make it a hearty meal? Add some garlic mashed potatoes. This recipe serves two. It's adapted from one printed in Bon Appetit, April 1996.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound
fresh Morel
mushrooms
2 chicken breast halves with skin on
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup chopped fresh
Ramps (substitute onions if you have no ramps)
2 large garlic cloves, minced very fine
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon dry Madeira
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Sprinkle the chicken withsalt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet
over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for
approximately four minutes per side, or until golden. Transfer
the chicken to a baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes, or
until cooked through.
Using the same skillet, heat over medium high and add the ramps,
garlic, and thyme. Sauté until golden, which should take about
five minutes.
Add the chicken broth and 1/4 cup of Madeira and
boil until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, which should take about
five minutes.
Strain the gravy through a sieve into a small saucepan and add
the morels. Cover and simmer for five minutes.
Whisk the cornstarch and remaining tablespoon of Madeira in a small
bowl.
Whisk into the gravy and simmer until thickened, which
should take about 30 seconds.
Season the gravy with salt and
pepper, spoon over the chicken, and serve piping hot.
