“That fellow Béchameil has all the luck! I was serving breast of chicken á la crème more than 20 years before he was born, but I have never had the chance of giving my name to even the most modest sauce.”
Duke of Escars, 17th century

 

“Do not be afraid of simplicity. If you have a cold chicken for supper, why cover it with a tasteless white sauce which makes it look like a pretentious chicken dish on the buffet table at some fance dress ball?”
X. Marcel Boulestin, chef.

Chicken Breasts Xeres

 

Ingredients

2 large boneless chicken breasts split
1 salt and pepper, as desired
1/2 lb mushrooms
6 tbsp olive oil
2/3 cup sherry vinegar
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp chopped parsley



 

Preparation

TRIM EXCESS SKIN from the breasts. Sprinkle breasts with salt and
pepper and set aside. Quarter larger mushrooms, halve smaller ones
and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in an aluminum skillet or frying
pan over high heat and brown chicken on skin side. Transfer the
chicken to a plate and pour off fat. Reduce heat to medium, pour in
vinegar and dissolve the tomato paste in it. Replace chicken in
skillet, skin side up. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Uncover; cook until
chicken is done, 6 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, heat 1
teaspoon oil in another frying pan and cook the mushrooms about
3-to-4 minutes. Arrange chicken and mushrooms on platter. Whisk in
the rest of the olive oil; mix in parsley. Pour juices that have
collected on the platter into sauce. Pour sauce over chicken and
mushrooms; serve immediately.
