CREAMY CHICKEN TOAST



Creamy Chicken Toast image

Diced chicken breast is draped in a creamy sauce with green onions and peppers plus tarragon for the finishing touch. Enjoy a delicious, comforting chicken dish as well as a reminder on how to make cream sauce--it's easier than you thought. I serve this over bread, but any starchy base will do. Garnish with green onions if desired.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
salt to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons sliced green onions, white and lighter green parts, or to taste
½ red bell pepper, or to taste, diced
1 large jalapeno pepper, or to taste, seeded and diced
¼ cup chicken broth
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
4 slices bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until outside firms up and inside is still medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Combine green onions, red bell pepper, and jalapeno in the skillet. Add a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to high. Pour in chicken broth. Stir until liquid is mostly evaporated. Stir in cream. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook until sauce is reduced to desired thickness, 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Cut chicken into evenly sized cubes. Add chicken, accumulated juices, and creme fraiche to the sauce. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 7 minutes more. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Turn off heat. Stir in tarragon and spoon chicken and sauce over toast.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
salt
fresh ground black pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 French baguette
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed off and cut into 1-inch lengths (get pencil thin asparagus)
1 cup grated gruyere cheese
2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
4 slices black forest ham, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°; preheat a big skillet over med-high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Add in onion, thyme, and garlic; season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring frequently for 5-8 minutes until nice and brown.
  • Remove onions from the pan; add in the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Add in the chicken; season with salt and pepper; cook until lightly browned 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • While the chicken is cooking, split the French bread in half lengthwise, just shy of cutting it completely through.
  • Dig out some of the insides of the bread and discard.
  • Push the bread open and flatten out to keep it open.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 5 tablespoons butter, a little salt and pepper, and 3 tablespoons parsley; evenly spread mixture on the inside of the bread.
  • Cut the buttered loaf into 4 portions, arrange on a cookie sheet; transfer to oven and bake about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove toasted bread from oven, set aside on the cookie sheet, and switch the broiler on.
  • Add the browned onions back to the skillet with the chicken; dust with the flour and continue to cook for 1 minute.
  • Whisk in the white wine, stock, and half-and-half; bring to a simmer.
  • Add in the asparagus and continue to cook 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus are tender and the sauce is thick.
  • In a small bowl, combine the grated cheese with the bread crumbs; toss to coat the cheese evenly with the breadcrumbs.
  • Stir the remaining parsley and chopped ham into the chicken and sauce.
  • Divide the creamy chicken into 4 portions in the pan, then transfer each portion to top the toasted bread.
  • Sprinkle a little of the cheese on top of the chicken, then transfer the cookie sheet to the broiler to melt and brown the cheese.
