#65 :: 4-Step Chicken Marengo

This is the first recipe we've made so far that I don't really want to eat again. Jamie and Josh both seemed to like it well enough. I can't really say what I didn't like bout it really....just a little bland, too tomato-y maybe....I really can't put my finger on it. It just wasn't one of my favorites.


Ingredients

  • 3 large chicken cutlets, sliced into thin paillards (slice while partially frozen)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium sweet onion, sliced
  • 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and julienned
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter

Directions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste, and lightly dredge in flour. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Brown on both sides, until nicely golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. In the same pan, add more oil, if needed, along with the onion, mushrooms and peppers and saute until softened and fragrant, but not limp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the tomato paste and cook a few minutes to cook out the raw flavor. Turn up the heat, and add the wine/wine to deglaze the pan and let it reduce for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the beef broth and tomatoes. Once the mixture begins to bubble, add the browned paillards and any juices from the chicken and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and stir in the butter. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
