CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH CURRIED OYSTER MUSHROOMS
Alain Sailhac, dean emeritus of the French Culinary Institute in New York and one of New York's most venerable French chefs, gives inspiration here to recapture the glory of the chicken breast, that popular yet generally overcooked piece of meat. He suggests cutting the breast in half horizontally to make two thin pieces, then topping them with quick-cooking vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini or tomatoes, and roasting everything together. This supremely juicy and complexly flavored dish uses that technique and is a snap to put together.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Place each breast flat on cutting board. With knife held parallel to surface, cut breast in half. Transfer chicken to baking sheet and season well with a large pinch each of salt, pepper and curry powder. Drizzle chicken with a little oil.
- In a bowl, toss mushrooms with curry powder, salt, basil, garlic, scallions and 2 tablespoons oil.
- Spoon an equal amount of mushroom mix on each piece of chicken. Bake until mushrooms are golden and chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH SAUTEED MUSHROOMS
Many years ago, I needed fresh cèpes for a job. When they were delivered, it was obvious there had been some horrible, grievous misunderstanding. I had ordered two pounds and they had delivered twenty! I called and they promised to pick them up the next day. However, my boss at the time was not the sort to take imperfections lightly. This may sound deceitful, but the truth is, it wasn't worth trying to explain. I just needed to make them go away. So I had eighteen pounds and over $600 worth of mushrooms to hide-no easy feat! It was like hiding a skunk, a deliciously intoxicating skunk, but a skunk nonetheless.

Steps:
- Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
- To cook the chicken, in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon each of the oil and the butter over medium-high heat until very hot. Working with 2 pieces at a time, dredge both sides of the chicken in flour, then shake off the excess flour. Without crowding, add the 2 pieces to the skillet, and brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a warm platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter, and chicken.
- To make the sauce, pour all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat. Decrease the heat to medium. Add the wine, using a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the mushrooms, cèpes and strained liquid, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon the mushrooms over the chicken and serve immediately.
- Called cèpes in French, and porcini in Italian, Boletus edulis mushrooms are extremely rich, with an earthy, assertive flavor. They are found only in the wild and not commercially farmed; their incredible flavor and limited supply bestow an intoxicating allure similar to that of black truffles. They are available fresh in season, but are available frozen or dried throughout the year. To plump and reconstitute dried mushrooms, place the mushrooms in a heatproof container. Pour over boiling water and let rest until plump and rehydrated, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the mushrooms to a cutting board. Coarsely chop and set aside for later use. Strain the soaking liquid through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter and reserve as a very flavorful cooking liquid.
CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM CURRY SAUCE
This is not an authentic Asian curry recipe (especially if you use the optional brandy!). I just made it up as I went along, adding what needed using, but the result was so good, I thought I'd share it.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the onion until soft. Add the curry powder and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden on both sides.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in another frying pan and fry the mushrooms and chilli on a low heat for 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Add the brandy to the hot pan, then pour in the stock. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly, then return the chicken to the pan. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to coat, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Stir in the coconut cream and peanut butter and heat through. Season to taste.
- Serve with savoury rice.
