Рецепт Chicken with Chicory
Gordon Ramsay. Some people love him. Some people hate him. Some people love to hate him. However you feel about him, you have to respect the guy. He's a successful celebrity chef and restauranteur with several Michelin stars. He's always on American television, but recently, we've been recording (from BBC) our favorite Gordon Ramsay project yet - Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course. This is a nice Gordon Ramsay. A gentle, helpful, teacher-esque Gordon Ramsay. Not at all shouty and mean like the Gordon Ramsay of certain other shows (it's called Hell's Kitchen for a reason, people!). And come on, the accent is pretty attractive. Amy loves how he says "basil." But we digress.
Suffice it to say, this recipe is pretty much his, from the first episode of Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course, which focuses on making things in a pan. There seems to be a cookbook attached to the show, but we're just enjoying figuring the recipes out ourselves by watching, as if we're having a private cooking class. Gordon doesn't always give exact measurements, and this recipe makes up only about 2 minutes in the half-hour long show, but we did our best. Whatever it was, it was yummy. And we'll be making it again. That much we know.
Chicken with Chicory
inspired by Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course, episode one
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 split chicken breasts
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 heads chicory/endive
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- handful of sprigs of thyme
- 1/4 cup marsala wine
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Heat oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and lay, skin side down, in the hot oil. Cook until skin turns golden brown. Flip the chicken to cook the other side. Cut the chicory heads in half and lay in the pan with the chicken. Add crushed garlic and sprigs of thyme and cook until chicory starts to caramelize, then flip the chicory. Add marsala and stock and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through and liquid reduces. Swirl in the butter to baste the chicken and make a pan sauce. (Our chicken breasts were pretty big, so we needed to put them in a 425-degree oven for about 20 minutes to finish cooking, during which time we left the endive and pan sauce on very low heat).
