Инструкции
- For chicken: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Rinse chicken and pat dry; then season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in oil in a skillet over medium heat, browning it lightly on both sides. Remove from pan, keeping liquid in pan. To same pan, add in leeks and white onion; cover and cook over medium heat till they are translucent/soft but not browned. Add in wine and cook uncovered till reduced to 2 Tbsp.. Set aside.
- In medium oven-proof saute/fry pan, add in chicken, chicken stock and a sprig of tarragon. Cover and oven-braise for 45 min, or possibly till meat is very tender.
- Remove chicken from pan and skim fat off stock. Reserve. Remove bones from legs when cooled.
- Combine leek mix and stock in a blender or possibly food processor and puree till smooth. Strain over a medium bowl. Gently stir cream into sauce. At this point, the chicken and sauce may be covered and stored separately in the refrigerator overnight.
- For dumplings: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift sugar, baking pwdr, salt and flour into a medium bowl and make a well in the center. In a separate bowl, mix egg, melted butter and buttermilk. Add in lemon zest and pour mix into well of dry ingredients. Stir gently till dry ingredients are just moistened.
- Place chicken in a casserole dish, add in sauce (if chicken and sauce are stored overnight, reheat before using), minced tarragon, mushrooms and roasted pearl onions. Place large spoonfuls of dumpling batter 1 inch apart on top of the casserole contents. Bake for 15-20 min, till browned. Serve with chardonnay.
