Best Tarragon Chicken With Sherry Vinegar Recipes

CHICKEN WITH SHERRY VINEGAR AND TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• First of all, heat the oil in the frying pan and season the chicken joints with salt and pepper. Then, when the oil begins to shimmer, fry the chicken (in two batches) to brown well: remove the first batch to a plate while you tackle the second. Each joint needs to be a lovely golden-brown colour. When the second batch is ready, remove it to the plate to join the rest. Then add the shallots to the pan, brown these a little, and finally add the garlic cloves to colour slightly. Now turn the heat down, return the chicken pieces to the pan, scatter the tarragon leaves all over, then pour in the vinegar and sherry. Let it all simmer for a bit, then turn the heat to a very low setting, so that the whole thing barely bubbles, for 45 minutes. Halfway through, turn the chicken pieces over to allow the other sides to sit in the sauce. When they're ready, remove them to a warm serving dish (right side up) along with the shallots and garlic. The sauce will by now have reduced and concentrated, so all you do is whisk the crème fraîche into it, taste it and season as required, then pour the sauce all over the chicken and scatter with the sprigs of tarragon. This is lovely served with tiny new potatoes tossed in herbs and some fresh shelled peas.

CHICKEN WITH SHERRY VINEGAR AND TARRAGON SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and season the chicken joints with a little salt and plenty of pepper.
• Fry the chicken, on a medium heat, in two batches, as this will mean you can get them to brown nicely, then place on a plate.
• The chicken should be golden brown coloured, but not cooked through.
• Put the shallots into the frying pan and cook for a couple of minutes. When they are soft and lightly golden brown add the garlic and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until it has softened slightly.
• Turn the heat down, return the chicken pieces to the pan, sprinkle over the tarragon leaves and pour in the vinegar and sherry.
• Stir lightly so that all the flavours blend, and then turn the heat right down and simmer very gently for about 25 minutes.
• Turn over the chicken pieces, so that they cook evenly, and allow to simmer for another 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a serving dish big enough for all the chicken and sauce in a low oven 275°F to warm through.
• Take the cooked chicken, garlic and onions out of the frying pan, leaving the sauce behind and place on the warmed plate.
• Finish off the dish by stirring the yoghurt into the remaining sauce in the pan. Check the seasoning before pouring over the chicken.
• Sprinkle any spare tarragon leaves on top as a garnish before serving with baked potatoes, rice, couscous or pasta.

CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON & SHERRY VINEGAR

Steps:

• 1. Liberally season chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, combine oil and butter over high heat. When hot, add several pieces of chicken, skin side down (do not crowd the pan) and cook until an even golden color, about 5 minutes. Turn the pieces and brown on the other side 5 minutes or more. Carefully regulate the heat to avoid scorching the skin. When all the chicken is browned, transfer to a platter. 2. Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat from skillet. Add the onions, shallots, garlic and bouquet garni and season lightly with salt. Sweat by cooking over low heat without coloring for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken pieces, pour about 3 tablespoons of sherry vinegar over chicken and cover. Cook very gently over low heat stirring to make sure the vegetables don't burn until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove and discard the bouquet garni. Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover with foil, keep warm in low oven. 3. There should be a thin film of sauce remaining in the skillet. Leave the vegetables in the pan. Over moderate heat slowly add the remaining 3 tablespoons of vinegar, scraping up any bits that stick to the bottom of the skillet. Add the chicken stock, tomato paste, mustard, and half the tarragon. Stir to blend. Increase heat to high and bring to boil, cook until sauce is thick and glossy, about 7 minutes. Off the heat stir in the cream and stir to blend. Return to low heat just to warm through. The resulting sauce should be thick, creamy, and fragrant. Taste for seasoning. 6. To serve transfer the chicken to a warm serving plate. Spoon sauce and vegetables over and alongside the chicken and sprinkle with the remaining tarragon. Serve with rice or fresh fettucine.
